Two new Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) solutions have been released by Microchip, featuring an easy-to-use ASCII-style command interface that makes them easy to configure and eliminates any complicated code compiling. The RN4870 and RN4871 support the latest Bluetooth 4.2 specification and have a Bluetooth stack on board, with a scripting engine to enable standalone operation and eliminate microcontroller (MCU) use for simple applications. The devices can seamlessly transfer serial data over BLE devices and can support different beacon formats such as iBeacon or Eddystone via a single command. They come with a shield option, are fully certified to meet worldwide regulatory standards, and are available in compact package options as small as 6 x 8 mm.
