The Simblee BLE Module is a small Arduino-programmable Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE) module allowing you to get started playing with IoT (Internet of Things). The RFD77101 is a high performance, professional grade Bluetooth® Smart radio transceiver equipped with a built in ARM Cortex M0 microcontroller (with 128KB of Flash and 24KB of RAM, no EEPROM, running at 16MHz) that can be programmed using the simple-to-use Arduino IDE using Simblee extensions. Unlike other IoT offerings, Simblee integrates the GUI description code with the Arduino firmware running on the module.

The tiny RFD77101 module features 45-pin LGA 0.5mm pitch pinout with a 3ms signal latency and 10us accuracy. The Simblee module requires an operating voltage of 1.8V to 3.6V and is capable of communicating at an adjustable physical range from a few inches to hundreds of feet. Users can create sketches to run on their Simblees using the Arduino IDE. These sketches can include user interfaces, which can be displayed on the user’s smartphone or tablet, and which can be used to monitor the Simblee’s inputs and control its outputs.
