BleD Config vs BlePad

BLE Device Control & Interface Builder Create custom user interfaces for Bluetooth LE accessories with intuitive visual builder. Designed specifically for controlling BLE devices, this app enables you to connect, configure, and interact with your peripherals effortlessly. Key Features: - Drag-and-drop UI design. - Configurable BleDControls, each linked to specific GATT characteristics, enabling broad data exchange settings. - Support for a wide range of BleDControl types to suit various BLE device functionalities. - Device discovery with advanced filtering options: filter BLE devices by name, service UUIDs, or ManufacturerData using regular expression pattern matching. - Device configuration management: easily share your BleDControllers with other users by exporting .beldconfig file. - Seamless connection to any BLE peripheral, empowering users to manage device behavior via GATT profiles. - Public BleDControllers accessible via BleD AppClip by just scanning QR code or NFC tag. Ideal for: - Companies or startups working with BLE accessories but lacking the budget for custom app development. - Firms or individuals launching new BLE products to market. - Developers testing and evaluating BLE devices - connections, endpoints, data exchange. - Anyone wanting to create an alternative, unified interface for existing BLE accessories. If you develop BLE peripherals, this app reduces your development costs during the early stages by providing a flexible, visual control environment. With BleDConfig, effortlessly design, export, and import tailored Bluetooth LE control interfaces - no coding required.

BlePad turns your iPhone into a wireless remote controller for BLE UART devices — perfect for micro:bit, ESP32, and any Nordic UART Service (NUS) compatible hardware. Great for electronics projects, education, and robotics. ■ Four built-in remote screens Game Controller D-pad (up/down/left/right) and A/B buttons with full multi-touch support. Numpad Digits 0–9 plus arithmetic keys (+, −, ×, ÷). QWERTY Keyboard Full alphabetic layout, optimized for landscape orientation. Custom Remote Freely arrange widgets on a 12-column × 8-row grid in landscape mode. Choose from Buttons, ON/OFF Switches, and Sliders (horizontal or vertical). Set custom labels, command values, colors, and sizes for each widget. Long-press repeat sends the button command every 100 ms. Pro unlocks up to 20 saved layouts, and layout names can be up to 20 characters. ■ Share your layouts Share the custom remote layouts you've created with other phones. Export a layout as a JSON file and send it however you like — AirDrop, email, cloud storage, and more. Import a layout someone shared with you to start using the same setup right away. Exporting is available in the free version; importing requires Pro. ■ Receive Log Displays incoming BLE UART notifications in real time as a timestamped text log (up to 100 entries). ■ Free vs Pro Free (ad-supported) • Game Controller, Numpad, Keyboard: full access • Custom Remote: create, use, edit, and export 1 layout • Receive Log: full access Pro (one-time purchase) • Everything in Free • Custom Remote: up to 20 layouts, plus layout import • Ad-free ■ Technical specs • Protocol: Nordic UART Service (NUS) • Write / Write without response, max 20 bytes per packet (auto-detected from characteristic properties) • Command format: +ID\n on press, −ID\n on release • Requires iOS 17.0 or later ■ Compatible devices • BBC micro:bit (V1 / V2) • ESP32 (requires NUS-compatible BLE UART firmware) • Any Nordic UART Service (NUS) compatible BLE device Note: BLE stability depends on your environment. For robotics or safety-critical use, we recommend implementing emergency stop logic on the device side.
