Get HeartRate Data on Linux (Raspberry)

Levin 1 month ago

Hello everyone,

I've been searching through multiple discussions but haven't found a clear solution yet.

I'm looking to read heart rate data via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) on my Linux-based Radxa Rock device (similar to a Raspberry Pi). I'd like to implement this in C# using the Linux.Bluetooth library in a .NET application.

Has anyone successfully done this or can offer guidance on the best approach? Specifically, I’d appreciate any tips on setting up the code to discover and read from heart rate services.

Thanks in advance for any help! Post

For what type of device? E.g. Garmin Dual HRM?

That is reasonably easy in Python. See this for a test app in Python that can find a range of BLE devices including HRM's.

This will at least give you an idea on what is needed.

I'm using a Vivosmart 4 and Vivosmart 5.

The bleexplore project will capture HRM data from Vivosmart devices.
