BL600 Series Single-Mode BLE Module Featuring smartBASIC BL600 Series modules from Laird Technologies make it easy to add single-mode Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), or Bluetooth Smart™, to small, portable, power-conscious devices, including those powered by AAA or coin cell batteries. The fully approved, programmable modules feature Laird’s innovative, event-driven smart BASIC programming language, which significantly simplifies BLE integration. Based on the award winning Nordic Semiconductor nRF51822 chipset, BL600 modules provide exceptionally low power consumption with outstanding wireless range, all within a compact footprint of 19 mm x 12.5 mm. The modules incorporate all the hardware and firmware required to support development of BLE applications, including:  Radio hardware  UART, SPI, I2C, ADC, and GPIO interfaces for connecting peripherals and sensors  A complete BLE software stack  GATT-based BLE profiles that include Blood Pressure, Heart Rate, Health Thermometer, Proximity and Find Me, with future support for additional and custom profiles to suit your application’s needs What makes the modules unique is smartBASIC, an event-driven programming language that enables standalone operation of the module whereby sensors can be attached via any of the interfaces without the need for an external processor. A simple smartBASIC application encapsulates the complete end-to-end process of reading, writing, and processing of sensor data and then using BLE to transfer it to any Bluetooth v4.0 device – smartphone, tablet, gateway, or computer. Ultimately smartBASIC accelerates initial development, creation of prototypes, and mass production by providing you with your own BLE expert within the module. In addition to carrying FCC modular, IC, CE and MIC approvals, BL600 modules are fully qualified as a Bluetooth End Products, enabling designers to integrate the modules in devices without the need for further Bluetooth Qualification. A low- cost developer’s kit including simple software tools simplifies module integration and guarantees the fastest route to market.
