Connecting Gadgets to Blazor: Bluetooth, WebHID, and Beyond

on YouTube ↗40m

" summary

Shows actual code and demos: connecting Blazor apps to BLE, WebHID, WebUSB and Web Serial using a library called Blossom.Bluetooth, reading raw bytes from a Senson/Anderson scale and converting them to grams, sending command bytes to RoboSapien from a vendor Excel, sniffing and reproducing the Deadpool head reverse‑engineered protocol, driving a USB BSY light via BSY light via WebHID, and serial‑controlling a robotic whiteboard. If concrete IDs, byte formats, and working demos decide it for you this is worth watching.
