About

Bluetooth UART time

Features
Read full description

When no WIFI is available this app can be used the send an accurate time and date. The app is designed to be used in my word clock project that can be found here: https://github.com/ednieuw and https://ednieuw.home.xs4all.nl/Woordklok/The app can also send and receive text. On my Github site examples can be found to communicate with ESP32's like the Arduino Nano ESP32. With the BLEserialPro and BLEserialnRF app from the App store and other BLE terminal UART apps a connectio"BLE-UARTtime"n can be made. When this app is installed on an iPhone the device broadcast name is the name of the iPhone instead of the expected "BLE-UARTtime" .
