Studio Bluetooth Forum Discussions

I am using 20719-B0_Bluetooth in WICED Studio 4.0,

Building of Application to the development kit is done.(download complete for hello_sensor BCM920719EVAL_Q40).

I am facing an issue while connecting to Bluetooth as 'hello_sensor' is not found when searched even after recovering and resetting switches(SW7 & SW1). Hence unable to proceed further.

Pls help me with this.

Today, Cypress released the EZ-BT Module Arduino Evaluation Board (CYBT-343026-EVAL) that enables you to evaluate and develop applications on the EZ-BT WICED Module, CYBT-343026-01. CYBT-343026-01 is a Bluetooth 5.0 ready module that leverages CYW20706 Bluetooth MCU. The CYBT-343026-01 includes 512 KB of onboard serial flash memory and is designed for standalone operation. The CYBT-343026-01 uses an integrated power amplifier to achieve Class I or Class II output power capability.

Module features:

• Certified to FCC, ISED, MIC, and CE regulations
• Castelated solder pad connections for ease-of-use
• 512-KB on-module serial flash memory
• Up to 11 GPIOs
• Maximum TX output power: +12 dbm for Bluetooth Classic,  +9 dBm for Bluetooth Low Energy
• RX Receive Sensitivity:  –93.5 dBm for Bluetooth Classic,  –96.5 dBm for Bluetooth Low Energy

Getting started with kit:

CYBT-343026-EVAL can be used as a standalone evaluation kit or can be combined with Arduino compatible shields.

To use the CYBT-343026-EVAL,

• Configure the evaluation board headers/switches to the desired settings
• Connect the evaluation board to a PC via a USB cable
• Refer to KBA221025 for platform files, Makefile target generation, and HCI UART switch position setting for programming
• Open the WICED Studio, develop your application, program and test

In 2010, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) was added to Bluetooth specification to enable connections between devices that only needed to send a few bytes of data to each other over a limited range. It focused on consuming less power compared to Bluetooth classic and other wireless technologies. As the Internet of Things (IoT) transitions from concept to execution, BLE can be found in a variety of applications, including automation, remote controllers, beacons, wireless sensor nodes, and many others. System designers are realizing they need to transfer more data than what was supported by older versions of the BLE specification. In addition, greater range would enable new applications like automation, asset tracking, and wireless sensor nodes. BLE v5.0 tries to address these needs and more to make BLE more IoT friendly. This article talks about features that are introduced in v5.0 and their significance. To read this article, please follow link what BLE v5.0 means to you.
