Is there BLE shield that I can program the BLE stack?

Post by sjenson »

So many BLE shields for arduino (like the RedBear) appear to be hardwired to their app. This makes it easy to control the GPIO pins but if you want to do anything fancy with the BLE stack (like changing the name in the Ad packet) you are stuck.

I'm looking for a BLE shield that lets me fiddle with the BLE stack a bit. I realize this is asking for a bit more trouble but I'd like to have a shield that doesn't have training wheels. The docs on line don't give you much detail and I'd rather not buy one of everything in order to find out if it's possible.

Thanks,

Scott

The only BLE device we have is the nRF8001 breakout: https://www.adafruit.com/products/1697

The source code for the library is on our Github repo (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_nRF8001), and we have links to the BTLE standards and nRF8001 product page (which has the datasheet) here: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_nRF8001

You're welcome to use our code as a design reference, or modify it to suit your own needs.
