You will have heard of Bluetooth. You will almost certainly have also heard of Bluetooth LE (BLE). Ever wondered about the difference? Want to know more? In this months online meeting, Rob Probin gives a bit of background on Bluetooth, describes some of the features of BLE, tells us how we can use the system and provides some guidance on getting started.
During the presentation, Rob refers several times to a reference site about the Adafruit CircuitPython BLE libraries. This is the link to their page on the topic;
https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpython-ble-libraries-on-any-computer?view=all
And this is a link to their sample code:
https://circuitpython.readthedocs.io/projects/ble/en/latest/examples.html
Rob has also made some example code available on Github here:
