Overview 1. Overview 1.1. BLE232 overview The BLE232 is an interface adapter converting RS232 communication to Bluetooth 4.0. It has been designed to transfer state messages. It is not especially suitable to transfer streams or large files, although it works for small files or less volume streams. It is available as Bluetooth central or peripheral device. It can be used to connect to any other Bluetooth device such as a smartphone or a Bluetooth sensor that supports Bluetooth 4.
Features 2. Features • RS232 interface • Bluetooth 4.0 central or peripheral connectivity • Powered via serial port or externally • Configuration via serial port • Wireless serial bridging • Connects serial port to smartphones, sensors and other Bluetooth devices that supports Bluetooth 4.
