Establishing Connections

Aidlab SDK lets you discover and connect to nearby devices. Typical workflow: import the SDK, initialize the manager and delegate, scan for available devices, then establish a connection and start collecting data. Make sure the device is worn correctly (pulsating green LED) before scanning.

Imports

Python

from aidlab import AidlabManager, DeviceDelegate, DataType

Android

import com.aidlab.sdk.*

Apple Platforms

import Aidlab

Flutter

import 'package:aidlab_sdk/aidlab_sdk.dart';

Unity

using UnityEngine;
using Aidlab;

Create the manager

Python

class MainManager(DeviceDelegate):
    def did_connect(self, device):
        print("Connected to:", device.address)
        # add handlers / collect in the scan step below

Android

class MainActivity : ComponentActivity(), DeviceDelegate, AidlabManagerDelegate {
    private lateinit var aidlabManager: AidlabManager
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        aidlabManager = AidlabManager(this, this)
    }
}

Apple Platforms

let aidlabManager = AidlabManager(delegate: self)

Flutter

late AidlabManager aidlabManager;
aidlabManager = AidlabManager(this);

Unity

// Desktop (Windows/macOS) + iOS:
Aidlab.AidlabSDK.init();           // starts scanning/connecting automatically
Aidlab.AidlabSDK.init("Aidlab 2"); // optional device name filter

// Android:
// Implement `AidlabDelegate` and create the Android bridge:
// var aidlab = new Aidlab(this); // starts scanning automatically

Scan and connect

Ensure the device is worn correctly (pulsating green LED) before scanning.

Python

import asyncio

class MainManager(DeviceDelegate):
    async def run(self):
        devices = await AidlabManager().scan()
        if devices:
            print("Connecting to:", devices[0].address)
            await devices[0].connect(self)
            while True:
                await asyncio.sleep(1)

asyncio.run(MainManager().run())

Android

fun onBluetoothRequestsGranted() {
    aidlabManager.scan()
}

override fun didDiscover(device: Device, rssi: Int) {
    device.connect(this)
}
// Ensure Bluetooth/location permissions are granted before calling scan()

Apple Platforms

aidlabManager.scan()
func didDiscover(_ device: Device) {
    device.connect(delegate: self)
}

Flutter

@override
void didDiscover(Device device, int rssi) {
    device.connect(this);
}

Unity

void Start() {
    // Desktop (Windows/macOS) + iOS:
    Aidlab.AidlabSDK.init("Aidlab"); // default matches "Aidlab 2" as well

    // Android:
    // Request runtime Bluetooth permissions (Android 12+) before scanning/connecting,
    // then create the bridge:
    // aidlab = new Aidlab(this);
}

Bluetooth scanning relies on radio signals, so immediate discovery is not guaranteed; retry if needed. To connect to a specific device, see Connecting to a Specified Device.
