About

BLE Sensor App

Features
Read full description

The Bluetooth Smart Sensor app is used to showcase the capabilities of the Microchip's Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) module with the sensor board. The BLE should be programmed with the appropriate BLE private service and characteristics to transfer sensor data and an auto-running script to capture sensor data from the sensors on the sensor board. Once the BLE module is configured and powered on, the app can be used to scan and discover configured BLE module and connect with it. Once connected, the sensors view will present the sensor readings in real-time for all the sensors available on the sensor board. The module can be simultaneously configured as an iBeacon and connectable sensor peripheral to enable auto-connect.

BLE tools with terminal

Features

A practical BluetoothLE scanning tool that can connect to BLE Bluetooth devices to obtain information, supports terminal mode, and can set function keys. It is a very convenient tool for developers of Arduino or Raspberry pie. Support the reminder function of Bluetooth device [online]. When the stored Bluetooth device is scanned, a reminder will appear. The distance can be judged by the value of rssi. If there is a Bluetooth headset forgotten where to put it, you can use this function to find . There is also an interesting application method for this function. For example, put the Bluetooth headset in the suitcase when going abroad. When the suitcase turntable sends the luggage out, the mobile phone will remind the user that the luggage is here!
