ADAFRUIT BLUEFRUIT LE NRF8001 BREAKOUT IN SOUTH AFRICA

Description Adafruit Bluefruit LE NRF8001 Breakout The Adafruit Bluefruit LE (Bluetooth Smart, Bluetooth Low Energy, Bluetooth4.0) nRF8001 Breakout allows you to establish an easy to use wireless linkbetween your Arduino and any compatible iOS or Android (4.3+) device. It worksby simulating a UART device beneath the surface, sending ASCII data back andforth between the devices, letting you decide what data to send and what to dowith it on either end of the connection. Unlike classic Bluetooth, BLE has nobig contracts to sign and no major hoops that you have to jump through tocreate iOS peripherals that you can legally design and distribute in the AppStore, which makes it a great choice compared to classic Bluetooth which had(and still has) a lot of restrictions around it on the iOS platform. The nRF8001 is nice in that it is just a BLE 'peripheral' (client) front-end,so you can use any micrcontroller with SPI to drive it. Adafruit have exampleC++ code for Arduino, which you can port to any other microcontroller, butsome microcontroller is required - it is not a stand-alone module. This is a product for ADVANCED USERS - At this time we recommend thisproduct for people who are either OK with using the apps available (Nordic'sUART demo or our Bluefruit LE Connect) or are comfortable with writing iOSapps (and can refer to Adafruits' App repository). We do not have a tutorialfor writing your own iOS or Android BLE app at this time.
