Mad good

Fire, shoutout p4 Robotics

Uart issue

The uart interface ignores carriage returns and line feeds sent to the phone, please fix!

Makes BLE easy

I bought the Adafruit Feather 32u4 Bluefruit LE and by downloading their example code and doing a little reading, with this app you can be sending data back and forth from your iOS device to the bluefruit in no time. I also really like the option to plot the data being sent from the bluefruit. I can't imagine trying to make this app myself mainly because I don't own a Mac but being able to just download this app has made my life so much easer. Great app.

Adafriut Bluefruit LE Connect app

A very useful app to test the various capabilities of Bluefruit Le Friend products from Adafruit.
Remember to unpair your IOS device from the Bluefruit device before running this app. This app sets up its own pairing with an IOS device, and cannot do so if IOS already has pared.

Just what I needed

I mainly got this for the resistor codes but I have no doubt I'll put the other tools to use too. It's a nice little app and I'm happy to support Adafruit software!
