From the Forums: Blink Feather Bluefruit LE’s LED via Web Bluetooth (in Browser)
While Web Bluetooth is not yet a W3C standard, there is a community behind it and they are pushing the agenda forward. If you have a Feather Bluefruit LE product you can attempt this blink project, with most support being offered for the Chrome browser.
I’ve created a simple demo of using the browser based Web Bluetooth API (a w3c draft spec) to control a Feather Bluefruit LE; it’s the classic blink example using Adafruit’s nrf51 firmata and is controlled from within a browser on your computer or mobile device, i.e. there’s no native app, it just HTML, JavaScript accessing your computers/mobile device’s BLE hardware to communicate with Bluetooth LE devices that are in range.
You can find the demo on this website near the bottom under the Arduino Firmata – Adafruit Feather heading.
Adafruit Feather 32u4 Bluefruit LE: This is the Adafruit Feather 32u4 Bluefruit – our take on an ‘all-in-one’ Arduino-compatible + Bluetooth Low Energy with built in USB and battery charging. Its an Adafruit Feather 32u4 with a BTLE module, ready to rock! Read more.
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
