Send/Receive data using BLE and MBED | BBC Microbit

BLE Microbit

This video is all about sending and receiving data between BBC Microbit and any BLE enabled smart phone. Over here I have used C/C++ (MBED) as the programming language as other language (Python/JavaScript) don’t support UART data transfer service.

Programming using C/C++ (MBED Offline IDE Setup) | BBC Microbit

mbed offline

This tutorial is around BBC Microbit and programming the microbit using MBED offline C/C++ IDE but for this, I have used Yotta command line tool provided by MBED for building the code. This lets you explore many features of the microbit which otherwise are not accessible.       Bikash Narayan PandaDeveloper, Tinkere, a proud Dad.. love to spend my available time playing with Tech!! wglabz.in

Getting started with ESP8266 | AT Commands

Connecting the ESP8266 Wi-Fi module to PC and trying out some AT Commands.The ESP8266 is a low-cost Wi-Fi chip with full TCP/IP stack and microcontroller capability produced by Shanghai-based Chinese manufacturer, Espressif Systems. The chip first came to the attention of western makers in August 2014 with the ESP-01 module, made by a third-party manufacturer, AI-Thinker. This small module allows microcontrollers to connect to a Wi-Fi network and make simple TCP/IP connections using Hayes-style commands. However, at the time there was almost no English-language documentation on the chip and the…
