Bluno is great but I want small size for my product; Ble-link does well in its work but I don't want additional adapter to be inserted. Now, these problems are solved with BLE(bluetooth low energy) Micro, a new bluetooth 4.0 device. Comes in a small size at 24*15mm, BLE Micro can be easily put onto your PCB board, just ignore the problems like "how to design an antenna", "how to make a bluetooth chip work" and so on. BLE Micro is perfect for wearable projects. With it, you will be able to use Andriod or IOS devices to communicate with your clothes! And for developers, BLE Micro can be used for transparent transmission, or remote programmer uploading, and even building an HID connection with PC. It can be configurated by AT command and you can also update its firmware by USB. What's more, it supports IBeacon.
With the latest firmware version 1.8, you can switch the mode between AT command and transparent transmission by serial port.
Note: The new version BLEMicro V1.1 has passed through CE, FCC and RoHS Certification! The Dimension and Pinout have changed, please check the WiKi for the detail.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- BLE
- BLE stands for Bluetooth Low Energy, a Bluetooth mode designed for lower power use and modern phone compatibility. It matters because BLE support can make the module easier to use with Apple devices and battery-powered projects, though it may behave differently from classic serial Bluetooth.
- HID
- Human Interface Device is a USB device class used for keyboards, mice, gamepads and similar controls. If a board supports HID over USB, it can act like an input device to a computer without needing a custom driver.
- iBeacon
- iBeacon is Apple’s Bluetooth beacon format for broadcasting an identifier that nearby devices can recognise. Support for iBeacon matters when building proximity or location projects that need compatibility with apps or systems using that format.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
