ABBLEShield BLE 4.0 UART Module

 

You can now incorporate Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy (BLE) technology easily in your project with our ABBLEShield. ABBLEShield requires only a serial port for communication so it supports all major development platforms that have UART interface including Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Netduino, BeagleBone etc.

 

 

Features:

• Simple interface - with our pre-loaded firmware name ZeroBeacon, you could easily connect to any development board or IC with UART interface.
• Compact form factor - 17mm x 27mm this is a very popular request from makers using smaller Arduino boards like Arduino Mini/Micro/Nano/Pro Mini etc.
• Firmware upgradable - the firmware can upgrade through UART port.
• Support the amazing iBeacon technology and configure the iBeacon with UART port.

 

Hardware Overview:

• On-board chip antenna
• Texas Instruments CC2540 2.4 GHz Bluetooth System-on-Chip (SoC)
