For aficionados of smart devices and wearables with this new tech (BT4.0 BLE), now you can go further than hacking things apart to start prototyping with your Arduino. Bluno is first of its kind in intergrating BT 4.0(BLE) module into Arduino Uno, making it an ideal prototyping platform for both software and hardware developers to go BLE. You will be able to develop your own smart bracelet , smart pedometer and more. Through the low-power Bluetooth 4.0 technology, real-time low energy communication can be made really easy. ## Pricing - **Price:** $40.55 (inc GST) — $36.86 AUD, exc GST - **Quantity discounts:** 6+ $35.02 (exc GST) · 12+ $33.55 (exc GST) ## Availability & dispatch - Available with a lead time — expect dispatch between Aug 25 and Aug 31. ## How to buy - **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=DFR0267:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/DFR0267:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description It's time to get Bluetooth 4.0 into your project and sync it up with your phone!

It allows wireless programming via BLE, supports Bluetooth HID, AT command to config BLE and you can upgrade BLE firmware easily. Bluno is also compatible with all Arduino Uno pins which means any project made with Uno can directly go wireless! ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/p1_119513a6bf2.jpg) What's more, we also developed an App for Bluno (both Android and IOS) and they are completely opensource. You can modify and develop your own BLE-hardware platform. Below is a quick demo video covering some of the major features of Bluno with the help of an Accessory Shield for Bluno, which will also be available very soon. ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/p2_11919e63003.jpg) ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/p3_113598185e3.jpg) In short, you can use Bluno with any Bluetooth 4.0 compatible devices and enjoy features such as wireless transmission, master and slave settings, wireless programming and even establishing a Bluetooth HID connection with the PC between devices. ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/p6_11635c35376.jpg) ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/p7_114403ff6ff.jpg) ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/p8_102589e8e9d.jpg) ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/p9_127356babde.jpg) Note: For the demo application and arduino code, we integrated DFRobot wireless libraries for the beginners. The idea is supplying a simple way for you to use wireless modules without learning the wireless comunication protocol. However, for the developer, we recommend to custom or choose the protocol according to the application. ### Specification - On-board BLE chip: TI CC2540 - Wireless Programming via BLE - Support Bluetooth HID - Support AT command to config the BLE - Transparent communication through Serial - Upgrade BLE firmware easily - DC Supply: USB Powered or External 7V~12V DC - Microcontroller: Atmega328 - Bootloader: Arduino Uno ( disconnect any BLE device before uploading a new sketch ) - Compatible with the Arduino Uno pin mapping - Size: 60mm \* 53mm - Weight: 30g ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/pinout_20455d33bc2.png) **Documents** - Wiki Doc - Schematic User Review - Embedded Computing Review by Rei Vilo Custom Application from User - [Bluno iOS Terminal](https://itunes.apple.com/cn/app/bluno-zhong-duan/id794109935?mt=8) (developed by Air Vision) ### Parts List - Blunox1 ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/d/f/dfr0267-01.jpg)
