title: Receive BLE beacon with Raspberry Pi
body: <p>I am looking for a tutorial on how to receive an iBeacon signal with a Raspberry PI.
  What I am trying to do is monitor a zone of our warehouse. Once a beacon that advertises specific information enters that zone the rasperry Pi should send a REST request to a webservice.</p>
  
  <p>I've found this: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21733228/can-raspberrypi-with-ble-dongle-detect-ibeacons">Can RaspberryPi with BLE Dongle detect iBeacons?</a>   but it does not quite answer my question. Does anyone know of a good tutorial how to implement something like the above?</p>
  
  <p>(the easier the better, I am not exactly a programming whiz ... :-) )    </p>
  
  <p>Cheers,
  Vitus</p>
