Most module suppliers already have some qualifications like CE and FCC, so buying a module helps developers save time on product releases.įor Bluetooth low energy chipsets, if a developer has hardware design skills, especially RF design, it might be a good choice. This allows developers to focus on firmware design while skipping hardware design.

We just need to provide a power supply, flash the firmware, and then start working with it. On the module itself, most of them already include a Bluetooth ® low energy chipset, chip antenna and other necessary components like an oscillator, resistors and capacitors. Most Bluetooth low energy modules are fairly simple to use. The other is embedded application development. I often get questions from Bluetooth low energy developers who are curious, “how can I select a suitable Bluetooth LE embedded microcontroller for my prototype or product?” In this blog, I outline some tips for choosing the right one. One is mobile platform development like smartphones and tablets running on iOS, Android or other mobile operating systems. There are two major branches of Bluetooth ® application development.
