bluehash 1,581 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Alright people, here is something good. Emmoco has graciously donated a few EDB-BLE kits so that more developers get their hands on it. There is currently support for iDevices and they are almost done with Andorid. If you have an iPad/iPhone, fall in line and tell me why you deserve one. There are the following two rules: 1. This is only open to US residents, as Emmoco still as to clear a few things to ship internationally. 2. You need to have >50 reputation points. If not, I'll still consider you based on your activity in the forum. Please, only apply if you are going to do something for it and not have it sit idle or resell it. We'd like to see the projects you come up with. cubeberg and RobG 2 Link to post Share on other sites
cde 334 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Just a note, Bluetooth v4 Low Energy mode is not backwards compatible with regular bluetooth v2/3/4. Here's a wikipedia list of some popular BLE devices http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_low_energy#Other_examples_of_compatible_devices Mainly Apple's iPhone 4S, iPad (3rd gen & 4th gen), iPad Mini, and the iPhone 5, and some iPod touch. bluehash 1 Link to post Share on other sites
cubeberg 540 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Thankfully - all of the smart phones in my house support it - iPhone 5, Droid Razr. My daughter's iPod touch is 4g, not sure if it supports it or not. Link to post Share on other sites
SirPatrick 35 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I have always wanted to make a bluetooth vitals kit that has a few types of medical sensors like (blood pressure, heart rate, etc). For a freshman engineering course we had to come up with a concept and mine was a low cost low power bluetooth enabled vitals kit that police / military would use. When any of the parameters would become irregular it would send the information to emergency services, medical officers, etc. This combined with GPS coordinates would give a real time overview of where medical services need to be concentrated.

jsolarski 94 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 have to finish current projects....potm, f5510.

Fred 453 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Android in the UK, so I'm out. Which is a shame as I'm currently working on a Stellaris project that includes Bluetooth. (I just checked and none of my devices are BLE anyway. I wasn't aware that it wasn't backwards compatible with standard Bluetooth.) Link to post Share on other sites

I'll still keep you in mind once they are done with the Android framework. They are almost there.

gwdeveloper 275 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Currently, I'm working on a MSP430 based Clinometer. It's running from a F5529 with dual OLED. One for roll display, the other for pitch. Right now it's using an ADXL335 and LH303 for orientation. Using the Emocco kit would allow reading sensors from any iDevice in my truck. Possibly adding data-logging too. It's not ready for any project contests or to even post pics of yet. Gw www.gwdeveloper.net Sent from Tapatalk... cubeberg 1 Link to post Share on other sites

cde 334 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Cde.. do you want one? Don't have a compatible device, and from the looks of it, probably won't for another year or so. I do appreciate the offer though. Link to post Share on other sites
