Bluethooth Smart (otherwise known as BLE 4.1) control anyone? Just noticed this might be big soon.
The idea is that IoT devices connected by bluetooth and powered by a coin cell for up to a year are just about to dematerialise. It would be nice to have a drop in control that transmits and receives data to these devices. The Dialog Semiconductor devices are microscopic 5.5mm x 8mm http://www.aliexpress.com/item/25pcs-lot-DA14580-ultra-low-power-Bluetooth-4-1-module-free-shipping/32274688614.html?spm=2114.01020208.3.95.BF6sdb&s=p&ws_ab_test=201526_2,201527_2_71_72_73_74_75,201409_5 The bluethooth stack for Linux http://www.bluez.org/ does support BLE4.1 if HCI Version: (0x7) is showing when hciconfig -a command is run under Ubuntu. They are also supposed to have good range. So in theory one of these modems in every gadget powered by a coin cell could be updating your PC with information such as temperature, doors opening and closing and so on. As its so tiny, it can be made into a wearable and turned into proximity sensor so that its possible to know where you are in a building and computer can contact you :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
