BLExAR

BLExAR
Arduino + Bluetooth

BLExAR is an integrated app that uses Bluetooth Low Energy to convert many Arduino boards into iOS or Android-compatible devices. BLExAR allows the smartphone user to control digital and analog pins on Arduino-based boards using several Bluetooth Low Energy modules (HM-10, CC254x, nRF52, etc.).

Some features include: Real-time control of Arduino pins, data plotting in real-time, and raw communication using a terminal window.

The BLExAR app is intended for makers, students, and engineers interested in controlling their Arduino app whether for hobby or professional purposes. The app allows the user to interact with their Arduino board, but also receive data from sensors and so much more!

Maker Portal is a blog-centric company intended for young innovators interested in real-world applications to engineering. Resources include: physical products, mobile applications, software development, e-learning, and blog-style article writing. The maker-based approach is explored using written articles with topics ranging from Raspberry Pi, heat transfer, acoustics, robotics, data analysis, Arduino, sensor design, Python programming, and much more. Difficulty levels range depending on the topic and there is extensive focus on open-source software implementation, however, there will be articles with a focus on software design as well. The intention is to demonstrate applications of engineering that are repeatable at the intermediate level without requiring colossal resources.
