DIY Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Sniffing: Debug Your Projects Like a Pro!

In this video, we will explore the process of sniffing Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) data, a useful technique for debugging BLE-related issues. We will set up a simple BLE data logging system and a BLE sniffer, then examine the data flowing within the system.
Our BLE system includes a sensor node and a display node. The sensor node, which acts as the BLE server, consists of an ESP32-C3 module with a DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor attached. The display node, serving as the BLE client, is made up of an ESP32 Pico Kit and a small OLED display.
To capture BLE data, we will use an nRF52840 dongle from Nordic Semiconductor in combination with the Wireshark software. The video will not delve into the technical aspects of BLE. This video is intended for an audience interested in DIY electronics projects and Bluetooth Low Energy(BLE) technology.

Can an ESP32 be used for bluetooth sniffing?

[@context4719]

yes

[@ElectronDuino]

@@context4719How?

[@jcolt84]

I've had a $35 electric moped stolen from my home, and I'm doing everything I possibly can to try and locate it, with absolutely no help from the local police department. The bikes Kelley controller and battery both have BLE, and because my phone has paired with it before, I have the BLE name and address, but other than running a BLE scanner app on my phone, and driving all around my town, I don't know what else I can do to use this information to locate my stolen bike. I know it's a long shot, but If anyone reads this comment who has information that could help me to locate my bike, please. Please let me know how! Any information whatsoever that might help me locate my bike is greatly appreciated!

Not showing up on the interfaces page of wireshark

But, wait, there isn't encryption on Bluetooth?

[@nerdwerx2292]

What kindo of glue!? 🙀🤣

[@user-rd4jg9it4y]

Is this used for eavesdropping?

[@fernandoblazin]

its used for debugging viewing the packets in wireshark
