Prototyping BLE Design with the LightBlue Bean

A talk given at SFIoT Unconference 2014 regarding the use of the LightBlue Bean to help in the design process of new BLE products.

Transcript

1. Prototyping BLE Designs with the LightBlue Bean
2. What’s on the agenda? •LightBlue Bean? •BLE Prototyping Challenges •How the Bean can Help •BLE Lock Example
3. Chris Keller • Software Engineer at Punch Through Design • BLE firmware: PTD clients and internal projects • Developed firmware for the LightBlue Bean Who is this guy?
4. WTF is the LightBlue Bean? • A compact development platform • BLE on-board • Arduino Compatible • Update Arduino sketches over BLE
5. WTF is the LightBlue Bean? Arduino BLE Accelerometer Temp Sensor
6. BLE Prototype Challenges ! ! • Need it fast! • Module selection, board design • BLE firmware development • Interfacing BLE with peripherals
7. The Bean Can Help Module on-board Code for Arduino Compact Client Side Support
8. LBM313 Module FCC Certified BLE Defaults follow Apple Specs Configurable BLE Tuned Antenna
9. Easy to Code For and Update Write Code for Arduino Update over BLE Serial.print(“My BLE Message”);
10. ! Bean Apple SDK Provided ! ! ! ! LightBlue Ready-to-Use Controls ! ! Client Side Support
11. Fits Easily into your Design Compactness
12. Other Cool Stuff iBeacon Support Create “dynamic” iBeacons Change BLE settings from Arduino Sketches
13. BLE Lock Example
14. Conclusion Punch Through Design web: http://www.punchthrough.com/bean twitter: @PunchThrough Chris Keller email: ckeller@punchthrough.com twitter: @kellertchris
