Adafruit Services for CircuitPython: Use BLE to Talk to Sensors, NeoPixels, and More #ble #circuitpython @adafruit @circuitpython

Bluefruit Playground appBluefruit Web Bluetooth Dashboard

There’s a new Bluetooth BLE library for CircuitPython, adafruit_ble_adafruit, which defines a bunch of Adafruit BLE Services for talking to sensors, controlling NeoPixels and DotStars, and playing tones.

We already have an Arduino BLE library for these services, which you can use with the Bluefruit Playground phone/tablet app, the Bluefruit Web Bluetooth Dashboard, or your own client program. Now you can use CircuitPython too! Check out those links for details. We’ll be adding more Guides to show you how to read and report data using these services.

Here’s the current list of services, so you can get an idea of what’s available:

  • Addressable Pixel Service (NeoPixels and DotStars)
  • Barometric Pressure Service
  • Button Service (on-board buttons and switches)
  • Color Sensor Service
  • Gesture Service (for gesture sensors like the APDS9960, which is on the CLUE and Bluefruit Feather Sense boards)
  • Gyroscope Service
  • Humidity Service
  • Light Sensor Service
  • Magnetometer Service
  • Microphone Service
  • Proximity Service (e.g., APDS9960 again)
  • Quaternion Service
  • Temperature Service
  • Tone Service (play tones)
