What is blueranger
blueranger is:
BlueRanger is a simple Bash script which uses Link
Quality to locate Bluetooth device radios. It sends
l2cap (Bluetooth) pings to create a connection
between Bluetooth interfaces, since most devices
allow pings without any authentication or
authorization. The higher the link quality, the
closer the device (in theory).
Use a Bluetooth Class 1 adapter for long range
location detection. Switch to a Class 3 adapter
for more precise short range locating. The
recision and accuracy depend on the build quality
of the Bluetooth adapter, interference, and response
from the remote device. Fluctuations may occur even
when neither device is in motion.
