BL600-Sx
Single Mode BLE Module
1 OVERVIEW AND KEY FEATURES
Every BL600 Series module is designed to enable OEMs to add single-mode Bluetooth Low Energy
(BLE) to small, portable, power –conscious devices. The BL600 modules are enabled with Laird’s
smartBASIC, an event-driven programming language that enables OEMs to make their BLE
product development quicker, and simpler, significantly reducing time to market. SmartBASIC
enables customers to develop a complete embedded application inside the compact BL600
hardware, connecting to a wide array of external sensors via its I2C, SPI, UART, ADC or GPIO
interfaces.
Based on the world-leading Nordic Semiconductor nRF51822 chipset, the BL600 modules provide
ultra-low power consumption with outstanding wireless range via 4dBm of transmit power. A
broad range of BLE profiles including Temperature and Heart Rate are available and smartBASIC
provides the ideal mechanism to support any BLE profile development of your choice.
