sudo python3 -c 'print("\26\01\62\65\72\6c\69\6e")' > /dev/rfcomm

#test receive
cat /dev/rfcomm0

6. Install python

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt autoremove

sudo apt install python3-dev python3-pip python3-matplotlib

python3 -m pip install -U pip setuptools

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo sdptool add SP

8. Run Python serial examples

python3 tests/btSend.py

sudo hciconfig hci0 piscan
