Hi all,

Does anyone know if there's a way one could - using Tier 1, not Tier 2 - access the raw accelerometer data from a FitBit (or really any Bluetooth device that's spitting out data)? They do allow access to their API to capture the information, however the transfer protocol would be Bluetooth - which I'm not sure if Tier 1 has access to - and also I'm not sure whether accessing external APIs is something we can do in AppGameKit just yet...

Any advice?

i believe they provide a web api, means this device push data into a server.
https://dev.fitbit.com/
at Fitbit Web API Basics at Authentication in this page below Libraries "here is a list" you find examples.
for tier1 we have http commads. https://www.appgamekit.com/documentation/Reference/HTTP.htm

if this device is connected at your phone maybe you can see data with "terminal for bluethooth" app from "next prototypes" if it uses Serial Port Profile.

Hi Markus, thanks for that.

What I'm asking, though, is not necessarily just for FitBit, but for accessing Bluetooth communication with any device. For example, if I were to build my own bluetooth motion tracking device, is there a means in AppGameKit Tier 1 which would allow me to communicate with the Bluetooth device I had built?

you must know which Bluetooth profil your device can speak. then you can make a feature request for agk / tier1.
else you can try the native dev enviroments android studio,xcode,vs studio 2017.

Probably not in tier 1 unless it used the same method that was used to access the gpio pins on raspberryPI.
