ST BLE Sensor vs BLE Sensor App

The ST BLE Sensor application is used in conjunction with an ST development board and firmware compatible with the BlueST protocol to give you access to all the sensor data, which you can log to different cloud providers, and to update the board firmware directly from a mobile device via the Bluetooth® Low Energy protocol. After discovery ST development board, the app shows you a list of available demos and you can navigate through them to discover the functionalities of your board. Demos can be related about environmental, cloud, audio, board configuration, machine learning and and many other functionalities. The application is built on top of the BlueST SDK library implementing the BlueST protocol and helps you export the data easily via Bluetooth® Low Energy. The application also supports firmware library algorithms like motion-sensor data fusion, activity recognition and pedometer functionality. Both SDK and application source code are freely available at: https://github.com/STMicroelectronics

The Bluetooth Smart Sensor app is used to showcase the capabilities of the Microchip's Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) module with the sensor board. The BLE should be programmed with the appropriate BLE private service and characteristics to transfer sensor data and an auto-running script to capture sensor data from the sensors on the sensor board. Once the BLE module is configured and powered on, the app can be used to scan and discover configured BLE module and connect with it. Once connected, the sensors view will present the sensor readings in real-time for all the sensors available on the sensor board. The module can be simultaneously configured as an iBeacon and connectable sensor peripheral to enable auto-connect.
