OVERVIEW AND KEY FEATURES
Every BL600 Series module is designed to enable OEMs to add single-mode Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to small, portable, power-conscious devices. The BL600 modules are enabled with Laird’s smart BASIC, an event-driven programming language that enables OEMs to make their BLE product development quicker and simpler, significantly reducing time to market. smart BASIC enables customers to develop a complete embedded application inside the compact BL600 hardware, connecting to a wide array of external sensors via its I2C, SPI, UART, ADC or GPIO interfaces.
