Following technical overviews of Bluetooth Low Energy and Sensor technology, this workshop teaches you how to create a Bluetooth 4.0 wireless implementation using a temperature and humidity sensor as a practical example.
St Neots, Cambridgeshire -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/12/2011 -- 4th October 2011,National Motorcycle Museum, Birmingham, 9.30am - 4.30pm. A One Day Workshop for only £40 (+VAT) per person. Including lunch and refreshments.
In association with Bluegiga Technologies and Sensirion.
What is Bluetooth Low Energy?
Bluetooth low energy is a new, open standard developed by the Bluetooth SIG. It`s targeted to address the needs of wireless sensing applications such as ultra-low power consumption, fast connection time, reliability and security. Bluetooth low energy consumes 10-20 times less power and is able to transmit short bursts of data 50 times quicker than classic Bluetooth solutions.
Bluetooth low energy is designed for emerging applications and markets such as health and fitness, consumer medical, smart energy, industrial automation and security, but it still embraces the very same features we already know from the classic, well-established Bluetooth technology; robustness, security, interoperability and global availability.
Bluetooth low energy devices come in 2 flavours;
Single-mode devices that only support Bluetooth low energy and are optimised for low-power, low-cost and small size.
Dual-mode devices that support Bluetooth low energy and classic Bluetooth technologies. These are interoperable with all previous Bluetooth specification versions.
With the launch of their Bluetooth low energy product family, Bluegiga sets the standard by providing developers with flexible, easy-to-use, development tools to embed customer applications. BGScript™ is a scripting language enabling rapid development of Bluetooth low energy applications that can reside within BLE112 or BLED112 memory, eliminating the need for a separate microcontroller.
Bluetooth 4.0 allows companies to develop manufacturer specific Bluetooth profiles and with the BGProfile Toolkit™ developers can tailor profiles to fit their specific application needs. For even more flexibility Bluegiga will also offer C-level APIs to its Bluetooth low energy stack allowing developers to use standard development tools to create highly customised Bluetooth low energy applications.
