I’ve mentioned a number of tutorials for working with iBeacons most recently a step by step guide to creating a proximity based treasure hunting app.
Here’s a tool making it easier to work with iBeacons providing a command-line interface for easy broadcasting and detection called iBeacon-CLI from Radius Networks.
iBeacon-CLI allows you to easily configure iBeacons with a large amount of configuration options as shown in this help dump from the readme:
<pre><code> -h –help Display this message
-v –version Display ‘Version 1.0.1’
-s –scan Scan for iBeacons
-b –broadcast Broadcast as an iBeacon
Scan options:
-i –interval Time interval in seconds
Broadcast options:
-u –uuid Proximity UUID
-M –major Major Identifier
-m –minor Minor Identifier
-p –power Advertised Power
</code></pre>
You can find iBeacon CLI on Github here.
A nice tool for working with iBeacons.
