1.1 Scope
This document along with the BlueRadios
®
nBlue™ Bluetooth
®
low energy (BLE) evaluation kit was created to enable
developers and integrators an opportunity to evaluate wireless networks using BLE technology. The goal is to make the
transition to BLE as seamless and as easy as possible for our clients. This document will provide module hardware
details.
1.2 Background
Bluetooth low energy was designed to enable the development of low complexity, low cost wireless devices that require
minimal power consumption, such as sensors and watches. These devices typically transmit very small data packets at a
time, while consuming as little power as possible. Bluetooth Version 5.0 Single-mode chips implement the low energy
specification and consume just a fraction of the power of classic Bluetooth (BR/EDR), allowing the short-range wireless
standard to extend to coin cell battery applications.
The BlueRadios
®
nBlue™ modules are Bluetooth Version 5.0 compliant. The modules are designed to be built into an
embedded device and to provide a simple, reliable, and low cost API interface. The module is designed to integrate
with a wide range of applications and platforms.
