A Desktop application for the signalum python library

Signalum Desktop

A Desktop application on the Signalum Python Library/CLI Tool. The Signalum Desktop application is an attempt to develop a single tool for analysing and visualizing your wireless environment over a range of Bluetooth Devices, WiFi Devices and hopefully more.

Written entirely in Python3, Signalum Desktop currently accomplished the following:

• Basic wifi SSID and Bluetooth identification
• Signal Visualization
• Wifi and Bluetooth RSSI Values calculation
• Export - Ability to export values to excel worksheet

This application was bootstrapped with Fman Build system

Supported Protocols

Bluetooth

Bluetooth operates at frequencies between 2402 and 2480 MHz, or 2400 and 2483.5 MHz including guard bands 2 MHz wide at the bottom end and 3.5 MHz wide at the top. This is in the globally unlicensed (but not unregulated) industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) 2.4 GHz short-range radio frequency band. It is a standard wire-replacement communications protocol primarily designed for low power consumption, with a short range based on low-cost transceiver microchips in each device.

Wifi

This refers to a family of radio technologies that is commonly used for the wireless local area networking (WLAN) of devices which is based around the IEEE 802.11 family of standards. Wi-Fi most commonly uses the 2.4 gigahertz (12 cm) UHF and 5 gigahertz (6 cm) SHF ISM radio bands. At close range, some versions of Wi-Fi, running on suitable hardware, can achieve speeds of over 1 Gbit/s.

Dependencies

Apt packages

• bluetooth
• libbluetooth-dev

Application should be run with sudo priviledges to scan for wireless devices, else there might be unprecedented behaviour

Development

  # install dependencies
  make dependencies

  # make ui files and run in development mode
  make dev

After modifying any .ui file run the make ui_files command to update

Demo

Simple usage of Signalum Desktop to monitor multiple devices
