Renesas SmartBond
Read full descriptionHide full description
The SmartBond™ app from Renesas Electronics is a mobile application that works as a generic tool for interacting with Bluetooth® Low Energy devices. With the app you can scan for and connect to Bluetooth® Low Energy peripherals. Multiple connections and scan filtering are supported. You can also use the app in peripheral mode, so that other devices can scan for and connect to it. The app can act both as GATT client and GATT server. All GATT operations are supported. The app recognizes the Bluetooth® SIG adopted GATT objects, which are displayed with their proper names, their values are parsed and displayed as text, and, where supported, a custom write user interface is available. You can configure the GATT server and peripheral mode, either directly, or by cloning existing peripherals.
Accutroll

Accutroll is cruise control for your kicker motor. Lock onto the trolling speed you set. Accutroll maintains it through wind, waves, and current—so you can focus on fishing, not babysitting the throttle. When paired with Accutroll hardware, the app is the command center for connecting, configuring, and controlling your boat’s trolling speed with a touch of a button.
