In Connecting to Intel® Edison from Android* with Bluetooth* LE (BLE) describes a way to access BT via Arduino code but additional BT shield/kit is required.

The $22 kit includes an Arduino-BLE board and 6-pin header that should be fairly broadly applicable for building Arduino-based hardware that can communicate with iOS devices.

Arduino 101* includes on-board Bluetooth® LE to enable developers to interact with Bluetooth®-enabled devices such as phones and tablets.

Thanks to the LightBlue Bean+, however, one of those roadblocks has been torn down. The Bean+ is basically an Arduino board that can be programmed via Bluetooth LE.

Arduino enthusiasts searching for a board that supports connection via Bluetooth rather than USB may be interested in the Z-duino Bluetooth Arduino board recently launched via Kickstarter.

The project is build around an Arduino ProMini, an FTDI breakout board, and a Bluetooth module. It’s a fairly simple build, but the meat of the project lies in the code.

This Bluetooth module ties directly into the Tx and Rx lines of the Arduino so a wireless serial connection between an Android device can be established.

Arduino has introduced a Nano shaped board with a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE capable Espressif’s ESP32-S3 microcontroller, supporting it with the Arduino IDE and MicroPython. “Beginners can explore in an ...

Primo will include Bluetooth LE (low energy), NFC, Wi-Fi, and infrared built-in — you typically need a “shield” add-on to get these features.

Lauterbach extends the range of Arduino supported boards and devices. After the successful integration of the »Pro Portenta H7«, Trace32 now also supports the Arduino »Nano 33 BLE« and »Nano 33 BLE ...
