StarFish BLE Connect vs BLE GroupConnect

StarFish BLE Connect brings a disciplined, engineering-first workflow to Bluetooth® Low Energy exploration — so you can move from discovery to insight with confidence. Built in the spirit of StarFish Medical’s “dig deeper / cut to the chase” approach to solving problems, the app helps teams quickly connect, inspect, and interact with BLE devices during development, verification, and field troubleshooting. Connect with clarity: - Fast scanning with practical filters (name, connectable, unnamed devices, RSSI threshold) - Quick reconnect to the last connected device to streamline repeat test cycles - Clear status and error reporting so you know what happened and what to try next Explore GATT with confidence: - Services & characteristics browser designed for readability - Read / Write / Notify workflows with commonly used value formats (Hex, UTF-8, Bool, Int32 LE, UInt16 LE, Float32 LE) - History views for Read, Write and Notify to support debugging and comparison over time Built for real-world iteration: - Persisted preferences (scan options, filters, formats, last selections) so your workspace is ready when you are - Developer-friendly details when you need them, without clutter when you don’t Privacy & usage: - StarFish BLE Connect is a no-login tool. Preferences and session state are stored locally on your device. - Bluetooth access is required to scan and connect. Note: This app is intended for engineering, test, and troubleshooting workflows. It is not a medical device and is not intended for diagnosis or patient monitoring. Inspired by StarFish Medical’s commitment to helping innovators overcome challenging technology obstacles to create breakthrough products that improve health and save lives.

App IntroductionBLE GroupConnect is an offline Bluetooth Low Energy debugging tool for embedded and IoT hardware engineers. No data will be uploaded to the internet; all debug content stays on your device. Core Features: 1. Multi-device Concurrent ConnectionConnect dozens of BLE devices at the same time, control and monitor hardware in batches, perfect for mass production testing. 2. GATT DebuggingView services and characteristics in tree view, send Hex/ASCII/GBK/UTF-8 commands, listen to Notify messages, and save custom GATT templates for repeated use. 3. Automated Task ScriptsCreate timed and cyclic command scripts. Keep BLE connection alive in the background for long-running tests and OTA upgrades. 4. DFU & OTA Firmware UpdateSupports Nordic DFU and custom BLE OTA for external hardware ONLY. This function cannot update the app itself. No in-app self-upgrade is included. Firmware files stay on your local device and never get uploaded. 5. Log Recording & ExportCapture all Bluetooth communication logs, filter records, and export files as TXT or CSV. Clear all local data anytime in Data Management page.
