Simple Ble Microcontroller Modules List
The BLE Link Bee is a new entry in the range of Bluetooth modules compatible with the Arduino board. The module supports the master-slave switch. The module supports the master-slave switch. It has a transmission range of up to 60 meters in free space and makes it one of the most powerful Bluetooth modules. It is the best Bluetooth® low energy (BLE) module available, having a good. You can download all the sample programs for Android, iOS and RL78/G1D.
Applications
Applications using the Bluetooth® low energy technology have started to be used widely in healthcare devices, and the use of the Bluetooth low energy technology is still expanding in a wide variety of applications for sports and fitness devices, smart home devices, industrial devices, beacon applications, etc.
Beacons are applications which continue to transmit ID/URL/vendor information for advertisement notification to smartphones and location detection through smartphones. As beacons must always continue to transmit radio waves, the most important thing is to operate them with low power consumption. Renesas offers stack exclusively for beacons, specialized in lower power consumption.
Multi-Hop operation
Multi-Hop uses Beacon Stack for the advertising and scanning. Relay equipment executes both transmission and reception for Multi-Hop frame relay by the flooding method. It's possible to communicate data via more than one appliances. You can execute Broadcasting a command(e.g. Lighting Control) and Gathering a data (e.g. Sensor Data) by using Multi-Hop. And, you can select security or not for prevention of eavesdropping and falsifying.
When without security version, please download from the following.
When with security version, please contact nearest Renesas sales or distributor.

Point-to-Point | General Bluetooth low energy products | BLE Protocol Stack |
Broadcast | Beacon devices (Advertising packet which does not accept connection requests and Scan) | Beacon Stack |
Multi-Hop | Communication in the wide range by the relay with flooding method. (Beacon stack application) | Multi-Hop Feature |
Virtual UART Application
Responding to demands for wireless serial communication and wireless communication between embedded modules, we have developed a virtual UART application that realizes with Bluetooth® low energy technology. It has a simple AT command execution function to control and set Bluetooth® low energy communication, thereby realizing virtual UART communication where characters are transmitted/received via Bluetooth® low energy communication.
