Bluey is a BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) development board with Temperature, Humidity, Ambient Light and Accelerometer sensors. Bluey uses the Nordic nRF52832 BLE SoC (System on a Chip) which has an ARM Cortex-M4F CPU and a 2.4 GHz radio that supports BLE and other proprietary wireless protocols. It also supports NFC, and in fact the board comes with a built-in NFC PCB antenna.
This library enables you to use Bluey for with the Arduino platform.
Bluey directory contains examples demonstrating the board's usage and functionalities.
bluey_sensor_test example demonstrates the use of Nordic UART service to transmit temperature, humidity, ambient light, accelerometer and gyroscope readings from Bluey to nRF Connect mobile application on your smartphone.
