Hi there,

Sorry for bothering you with that broadcast story again, it's just I have to be sure to be accurate in an article I'm writing right now.., so the question is, does the bluez API support Active Slave Broadcast as it is specified in Bluetooth 2.0? Or basically, can I use the bluez API to send a broadcast message from a master node, so that all the slaves will receive it?

Thanks a lot,
Patrick

since BlueZ has an raw socket interface to HCI you can do everything you like. The question is how easy it is ;)
