This app demonstrates the capabilities of a Bluetooth LE and Sensor gadget that is provided from Würth Elektronik eiSos for the Wireless Connectivity Seminars. A Bluetooth LE connection can be build up from Smartphone to the embedded Hardware. This Hardware is using the Adafruit Feather Wing infrastructure. It shows a typical use case that can be modified to serve prototyping a multitude of possible User Applications including Sensors, Bluetooth Low Energy and a Smartphone. In this particular example one Host Board (Adafruit Feather M0), one Würth Elektronik Proteus Wing and one Würth Elektronik Sensor Wing are used. Plugging the boards together and installing the Demo firmware on the M0 the demo is ready to run. Firmware and Source code for firmware and App are available from https://github.com/orgs/WurthElektronik. The App was created using the Capacitor Framework by Ionic (https://capacitorjs.com).
