title: Can RaspberryPi with BLE Dongle detect iBeacons?
body: <p>I bought a developer kit from <code>Radius Networks</code> that includes a <code>ioGear GBU521 BLE 4.0 dongle</code> and a <code>Raspberry Pi</code>.  I also bought one of their <code>RadBeacon iBeacons</code>.  They both work as advertised, but I was kind of surprised by what I got.</p>
  
  <p>I had assumed that the <code>RaspPi</code> could detect <code>iBeacons</code>.  Instead, the kit is setup to <strong>create</strong> an <code>iBeacon</code>.  My use case is to detect when a <code>forklift</code> enters a particular room so I can send work to them.  My thought was to put an iBeacon on the forklift then put a RaspPi searching for iBeacons.  And when an iBeacon (forklift) was detected, you could conclude that it is nearby.  I would wire the RaspPi into the <code>LAN</code> and have it communicate the information via <code>REST or similar</code>.  I know I could put a suitable <code>Android or Apple device</code> and accomplish it that way, but I don't see why this dongle can't detect these <code>iBeacons</code> and tell me what their <code>UUID's</code> are?  What am I missing?</p>
