The BT+BLE Bridge is a plugin module designed to enable Bluetooth and Bluetooth Low Energy communication between GNSS receivers and iOS or Android devices via UART. It operates on a 3.0 to 3.6V supply, supports Bluetooth 2.0 with SPP and Bluetooth 4.2 Low Energy with GATT, and transmits at 2.4 GHz with a maximum output power of 10 dBm. The module is based on an ESP32 and includes a UART interface with a configuration baud rate of 115,200 bps. It is compatible with all ArduSimple boards featuring an onboard XBee socket, and shares the same hardware as the WiFi NTRIP Master. The device can be reprogrammed with custom firmware. The package type and physical dimensions are not specified.
With Ardusimple BT+BLE Bridge module, you will be able to connect an RTK system with your iOS or Android device via classic Bluetooth (BT) or Bluetooth low energy (BLE) and use it with your preferred app.
