Writing mobile apps that communicate with IoT devices using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) can be quite an undertaking. Web Bluetooth is a new API that makes it easier to develop BLE enabled applications in JavaScript. In this post we present an overview of Web Bluetooth and invite you to download a brand new release of Evothings Studio for early testers.
The Nordic Semiconductor nRF51-DK, an mbed enabled micro-controller is getting a lot of attention from us lately – we first showed you how to get started with mbed and how to connect an Arduino Ethernet Shield to give the device internet connectivity. It was only a matter of time before we started to explore the Bluetooth Smart (BLE) capabilities of … Read More
The Nordic Semiconductor nRF51 Developer Kit, an mbed.org enabled micro-controller, is the first of its kind from Nordic Semiconductor that is compatible with the Arduino UNO rev3 hardware standard – however it lacks any form of on-board Ethernet connectivity. It was obvious for us and our hands-on tendencies to figure out exactly how to utilise the Arduino Ethernet Shield and … Read More
ARM has been quite active recently with various announcements in the IoT space so we decided was time to pull out the various mbed enabled devices we had access to in our office and take the mbed development environment for a spin. This tutorial will walk you through compiling your first mbed application and deploying it to mbed enabled micro-controller. … Read More
We have looked into the Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF51822-EK Evaluation Kit by making a simple mobile JavaScript app for Android and iOS mobile devices where we control an LED on the board over BLE. The example can be easily modified, serving as a template or starting point for other IoT applications. This tutorial assumes that you are already somewhat familiar with … Read More
