Romeo BLE mini SKU:DFR0351

Introduction

Romeo BLE mini is a simplified version of Romeo board. It inherits all functions of Romeo BLE. Moreover, IT GOT A SMALLER SIZE!Yes, you got it all. It has 8 Digital pins, 4 analog pins and integrates Bluetooth 4.0 wireless communication function. And it can easy to drive the mobile platform using two 1.5A H-bridged Motor Driver to meet the needs of most small scale robots. We hope Romeo BLE mini will be a good assistant to Makers.

Configure the BLE through AT command

There are three revolutionary BLE firmware versions now, maybe it will be more. For the reason of unified management, we will put all BLE AT command on the BLUNO wiki page Configure the BLE through AT command.

Bluno Beetle Basic Demo

In this section, you can use the Romeo BLE mini to connect with the Android phone or iPhone .The Step by Step tutorial of the Romeo BLE mini is almost the same with the Bluno. Bluno Basic Demo

Wireless Programming via BLE

In this section, we will learn how to Upload the sketch on air via BLE. It is really amazing that you can do uploading process without a line.The Step by Step tutorial of

the Romeo BLE mini is almost the same with the Bluno. How to Wireless Programming through BLE.

Update BLE Firmware

It is better to update the newest firmware for the better experience. As Romeo BLE mini is using CC2540 chip, the method of the updating is very close to BLUNO. Please choose "Bluno" firmware. Or it won't work. How to update the BLE firmware.
