TinyCircuits BLE Hardware Password Manager

This project was made for the ICT1003 project assignment using TinyCircuits.
The main code is in the PasswordManager folder. The src folder contains our modified forks of other github repos.

Usage

On the TinyScreen buttons:

• TSButtonUpperRight tabs through available account passwords
• TSButtonLowerRight will type out the respective password on the connected device. Only active if a device is actually connected.
• TSButtonLowerLeft will delete all paired devices. Does not notify previously paired devices that they should pair again, so you will have to delete pairings on the other side manually.
• TSButtonUpperLeft will temporarily enable discoverable mode for 180 seconds. Only active if not currently connected.
  Note: if there are no paired devices, the TinyCircuit will remain in constant discoverable mode. If there is at least one device paired, the TinyCircuit will not be discoverable when idle unless this button is pressed.

Over Bluetooth serial:
BLE Serial packets only permit a maximum of 20 bytes per message. The expected message format is:

struct msg {
    char command; // 'G' for get or 'S' for set
    char space; // ignored; a single space character
    char username[9]; // right-padded username string. NOT null terminated!
    char password[9]; // right-padded password string. NOT null terminated! Ignored in 'G' operation.
}

GET operation

Deprecated behaviour: Retrieves the password for the specified existing account.

SET operation

Sets the password for the specified existing account.
