UART-LE

This is a simple app to demonstrate a text chat from the phone to BLE hardware.

This app is written to communicate using both the Cypress BLE-UART solutions and the Nordic UART 2.0.

Cypress Requirements:

Hardware: This chat is written for this development kit:

http://www.cypress.com/documentation/development-kitsboards/cy8ckit-042-ble-bluetooth-low-energy-ble-pioneer-kit

Firmware: Your hardware must be running this firmware compiled for your chosen module (PSOC or PROC)

- https://github.com/cypresssemiconductorco/PSoC-4-BLE/tree/master/100_Projects_in_100_Days/Day020_BLE_UART

- Use PSOC creator and compile and program the firmware to your dev board.

Nordic Requirements:

Hardware: nRF52 DK

Firmeware: Compile and Download the "ble_peripheral" project from the Nordic nRF5 SDK. You will need to download the Soft Devices to flash memory using the nRF Go Studio tool as well.

How to use:

2. Open a com terminal (such as Termite or Teraterm) on your computer. Make sure are connected to the USB com port on your BLE pioneer kit (hint: Windows users should look at device manager).

3. Open the BLE chat app, scan for your kit's ble. Press on the the name of your kit, a chat window will open to send text to the computer terminal and to receive text from the computer terminal.
