One of this year\’s projects was taking a CC2540 and making an interactive iBeacon with it. This turned out to be more difficult than expected… which may explain recent design trends I\’ve noticed in embedded BLE devices.Continue reading

For those not familiar, an iBeacon uses a Low Energy Bluetooth (BLE) advertisement to tell devices, \”you are here.\” I chose the TI CC2541 for the project because it is very integrated (low external part count) and the power draw is low.Continue reading
