Technical requirements
Once again, the Windows platform will not be a major part of the discussion in this chapter. After using it as the starting point for compiling your project, you will be deploying apps to other devices running a variety of OSes. Each section will introduce what will be covered and expected. The list will include the following:
- Bluetooth: Your app will need to run on a platform that supports Bluetooth, and you will need to have two Bluetooth-capable devices that can connect and run your apps.
- Raspberry Pi: You will need a Raspberry Pi Model 3 or 4 or newer and the ability to burn an image onto a microSD card for booting the Pi.
You may want to have more than two Bluetooth devices, preferably ones on which you can install your own apps, in order to gain the most experience, as we talk about distance calculation and beacons.
