Range Test

Using two Uberteeth it is possible to perform a range test. One Ubertooth acts as a repeated by running:

ubertooth-util -e

A second Ubertooth (the sender) initiates the range test by running:

ubertooth-util -n

During the range test the sender Ubertooth will transmit data packets at increasing power level, listening for repeats from the repeater Ubertooth. The receiving Ubertooth will validate that the received data was not corrupted in flight.

The range test results can be displayed on the sender Ubertooth's system by running:

ubertooth-util -m

Note that the range test transmits the Cortex M3 microcontroller's serial number. If you do not wish to broadcast that information wirelessly, do not use the range test functionality.
