A CLI application for tracking the number of people in the vicinity of a device using bluetooth

spuristo

spuristo is a CLI application that utilizes bluetooth and linear regression to guess the number of people in the vicinity of a device.

This project has a lot of work that remains to be done at the time of writing this.

Options

--adapter		Specify the name of the bluetooth adapter that will be used.
			Default is set to "hci0". Do not touch if you don't know what you're doing.

--threshold		Specify the minimum connection strength in dBm required to "count" a device.
			Default is set to -75 dBm

--training		Run the application in training mode. This will enter all datapoints into a
			separate database table used for training the model when running in production.

A note about CLI arguments

There's a known issue about the --threshold argument where inputing negative numbers are not properly supported. In order to mitigate this, you need to use the following syntax

spuristo --threshold=-75

This is detailed in issue #3

Contribute

This project is meant to be a fun hobby project allowing me to solve the problem of not knowing how many people are at the place I hang out at school, while also giving me an excuse to learn Rust. Therefore I wish to keep contributions to a minimal in order to force myself to learn and figure out the ways of Rust. The exceptions to this are issues marked with the Help wanted tag.
