LightBlue Bean Bluetooth LE Smartphone Arduino Compatible

The LightBlue Bean is a new Arduino compatible microcontroller with built-in Bluetooth LE support. It can be programmed wirelessly and is perfect for smartphone-controlled projects! With its low-cost and low-energy consumption, this little bean can handle almost everything you need in your project. It also includes a prototyping area where you can expand its features and make it suitable for your needs.

The Lightblue Bean is Arduino IDE compatible! It also supports the Bean iOS Loader to program it with your iOS device. All you need is a 3.3V coin cell battery. It is ideal for long-term sensor or data logger applications. An RGB LED and an accelerometer has also been integrated.

Note: the Bean is compatible with iOS 7 and above, Android 4.3 and above, Mac OSX 10.9 and above and Windows 8.1, but is NOT supported by Windows 7!
