Provides API for nRF8001 BLE chip.
Step 1: Get latest release of Nordic nRF8001 SDK for Arduino here:
https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/ble-sdk-arduino/releases
The library folder is "BLE" in this package.
Step 2: Get latest release of RBL nRF8001 API here:
https://github.com/RedBearLab/nRF8001/releases
The library folder is "RBL_nRF8001" in this package.
Step 3: Unzip these two packages, import or copy these two libraries, with folder named "BLE" and "RBL_nRF8001" to your Arduino sketchbook folder.
If you do not know how to do, read this:
http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/Libraries
Step 4: Load an example to your Arduino board.
The library structure and dependency: YourSketch.ino -> RBL_nRF8001 -> Nordic's BLE
Also, you can use Nordic's library directly such as: YourSketch.ino -> Nordic's BLE
Nordic also provides many examples and tutorials.
Read Nordic's BLE SDK for Arduino for details with tutorials to write your own services, you can use this one directly:
https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/ble-sdk-arduino
There are two Apps available from the Apple AppStore:
-
BLE Arduino
It is for the BLEFirmata sketch and works for iOS 6 -
BLE Controller
It is for the BLEController sketch and works for iOS 7
Before calling to ble_begin(), you can make use of ble_set_name("My BLE") to change the name.
Arduino UNO (328p), Leonardo (32u4), MEGA2560, DUE and their compatible.
