User 52df6421be Initial commit: RF Mapper v0.3.0-dev
WiFi & Bluetooth signal mapping tool for Raspberry Pi with:
- WiFi scanning via iw command
- Bluetooth Classic/BLE device discovery
- RSSI-based distance estimation
- OUI manufacturer lookup
- Web dashboard with multiple views:
  - Radar view (polar plot)
  - 2D Map (Leaflet/OpenStreetMap)
  - 3D Map (MapLibre GL JS with building extrusion)
- Floor-based device positioning
- Live BT tracking mode (auto-starts on page load)
- SQLite database for historical device tracking:
  - RSSI time-series history
  - Device statistics (avg/min/max)
  - Movement detection and velocity estimation
  - Activity patterns (hourly/daily)
  - New device alerts
  - Automatic data retention/cleanup
- REST API for all functionality

BT RSSI Acquisition

Problem: Cannot get reliable RSSI values for Bluetooth devices

  • hcitool rssi <addr> - Only works for connected devices
  • bluetoothctl info - No RSSI for cached devices
  • btmgmt find - Not providing output
  • BLE scan (hcitool lescan) - I/O errors on this adapter

Potential Solutions:

  1. Use D-Bus BlueZ API directly (needs dbus-python)
  2. Keep devices paired/connected for RSSI polling
  3. Focus on WiFi-based tracking instead
  4. Use dedicated BLE beacon hardware

Notes

  • Bluetooth scanning is unreliable on Raspberry Pi 5 with built-in adapter
  • WiFi scanning works well with iw command
  • Consider external USB Bluetooth adapter for better BLE support
