A GUIDE TO BLUETOOTH LOW ENERGY TECHNOLOGY

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is used as a wireless technology for machine to machine communications and industrial automation. It is also being used in biomedical and sports products. This paper explains the software and hardware needed for implementing Bluetooth low energy technology. An android app has been developed for communication with the designed hardware. This paper serves as a guide to anyone involved in development with Bluetooth low energy. BLE technology is implemented and demonstrated with the help of an example. A high gain differential antenna is used in hardware for better range.
