Bluetooth Sniffer
In this example, a Lantronix WiPort serial-to-ethernet device was connected to an Initiium Promi SD-102 Blutooth serial dongle. No firmware code or microprocessor was needed, since the Promi device communicates serially to the WiPort, and the java program below communicates to the WiPort via TCP.

The code below opens a socket to the WiPort, then sends AT-style commands to the Promi device to ask it to scan for Bluetooth devices in its vicinity.

The test class only has a main method. All the real work is done in the BTSnifferThread class.

This code is very raw, and hasn't been properly tested. It's intended for demo purposes only.

BTTestClass:

/*
* Created on Nov 1, 2004

*/
package bluetoothSniffer;

/**
* @author tigoe

*/
public class BTTestClass {
static String addressString; // IP address to connect to
static int addressPort; // port to connect to
static BTSnifferThread mySniffer; // thread to start running

public static void main(String argv[]){
// we need two arguments:
if (argv.length < 2) {
System.out.println("invocation: BTTestClass addressString, portNumber");
System.exit(0);
} else {
addressString = new String(argv[0]);
addressPort = Integer.parseInt(argv[1]);
mySniffer = new BTSnifferThread(addressString, addressPort);
mySniffer.start();
}

while (mySniffer.isAlive()) {
// twiddle your thumbs.
}

System.exit(0);
}

}

BTSnifferThread class:

/**
