Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.11 or newer
• Rust toolchain with cargo
• Bluetooth adapter on Linux

Transport requirements: - Device must already be paired/trusted (e.g., via bluetoothctl) and you must know the MAC. No BlueZ daemon or tokio/dbus stack is required.

Install from PyPI

uv add bitalino-rs

This installs the minimal RFCOMM backend used for both the crate and the Python wheel.

Develop from source (uv-first)

git clone https://github.com/tleygue/bitalino_rs.git
cd bitalino_rs
uv sync          # installs Python tooling declared in pyproject

Build the crate/wheel (minimal RFCOMM backend):

cargo build --release
