LightBlue® — Bluetooth Low Energy

LightBlue® can connect you to all of your devices that use Bluetooth Low Energy (also known as Bluetooth Smart, or Bluetooth Light). With LightBlue®, you can scan, connect to and browse any nearby BLE device.

Full support of read, write, and notify is included to ease BLE firmware development efforts. You can also view the signal strength (RSSI) in real time to get an idea of how close you are to the BLE device, handy for finding lost Fitbits or other BLE devices!

The log feature allows you to keep track of all significant BLE events that occur while using the app (e.g., device discovery, connection, reading, writing).

Use LightBlue® to test your new BLE Heart Rate Monitor, temperature sensor, TI CC2540 Keyfob, Nordic uBlue, Panasonic PAN1720, etc. LightBlue® is also ideal for developers wanting to test the firmware of their own BLE peripherals.

Key Features:

- Scan for any BLE peripherals

- See basic device info (name, MAC address, RSSI) at a glance

- Browse characteristics and services

- Register for notifications

- Read characteristics

- Write to characteristics in hex or UTF-8 string format

- Thoroughly log BLE events and share them in plain text format

A note on location access: if your Android device is running Android M (6.0) and above, you'll need to grant the app fine location access in order for the OS to surface BLE scan results to the app. This is an Android SDK requirement—we do not use your location for anything, not even while the app is in the foreground.

LightBlue® puede conectarlo a todos sus dispositivos que usan Bluetooth Low Energy (también conocido como Bluetooth Smart o Bluetooth Light). Con LightBlue®, puede escanear, conectarse y explorar cualquier dispositivo BLE cercano.

Se incluye soporte completo de lectura, escritura y notificación para facilitar los esfuerzos de desarrollo de firmware BLE. ¡También puede ver la intensidad de la señal (RSSI) en tiempo real para tener una idea de qué tan cerca está del dispositivo BLE, útil para encontrar Fitbits u otros dispositivos BLE perdidos!

La función de registro le permite realizar un seguimiento de todos los eventos BLE importantes que ocurren mientras se usa la aplicación (por ejemplo, descubrimiento de dispositivos, conexión, lectura, escritura).

Use LightBlue® para probar su nuevo monitor de frecuencia cardíaca BLE, sensor de temperatura, llavero TI CC2540, Nordic uBlue, Panasonic PAN1720, etc. LightBlue® también es ideal para desarrolladores que desean probar el firmware de sus propios periféricos BLE.

Características clave

- Escanee cualquier periférico BLE

- Ver información básica del dispositivo (nombre, dirección MAC, RSSI) de un vistazo

- Examinar características y servicios

- Registrarse para recibir notificaciones

- Leer características

- Escribir en características en formato de cadena hexadecimal o UTF-8

- Registre completamente los eventos BLE y compártalos en formato de texto sin formato

Una nota sobre el acceso a la ubicación: si su dispositivo Android ejecuta Android M (6.0) y superior, deberá otorgarle a la aplicación un acceso de ubicación preciso para que el sistema operativo muestre los resultados del escaneo BLE a la aplicación. Este es un requisito del SDK de Android: no utilizamos su ubicación para nada, ni siquiera mientras la aplicación está en primer plano.
