Smart Bluetooth Forum Discussions
Several people have sent personal notes to me asking if they can run any of the included profiles within the SDK on the WICED Sense EVB, so I thought I would post the answer here.
Essentially, any of the included profiles within the SDK should compile and run on the WICED Sense EVB.
For example, if you want to run the Heart Rat Monitor on WICED Sense, first start with the Quick Start Guide here:
WICED Smart Quick Start Guide (SDK 2.1 and TAG3 Board)
Note that this document references our full featured TAG3 development board in the discussion, so you will ignore those references. What you want to pay attention to are the sections called:
- Verify Driver Installation
- Build and Load a Sample Application
- Application Test Example
For item 1 to work properly, you will need to first install the Silicon Labs USB to Serial drivers onto your development platform where the WICED Smart SDK is running. The link to the drivers can be found here on the Index Page j.t created: WICED Sense Table of Contents
Once the drivers are installed and you plug the WICED Sense board in using the provided Micro USB Cable, you should see something like this when you review the COM/LPT Port connections within your Windows Device Manager:
At this point, you will now need to make sure the WICED Sense EVB is placed into programming mode (in Application Mode by default). Follow the guidance in the thread here: Re: Hackathon - Embedded Tips and Tricks
Note that some have gotten this to work by holding the wake button for 3 seconds, but I had to crack the kit open and hit reset to get the part into programming mode.
Following step 3 above, you should now be able to open a BLE Explorer like LightBlue and see the app running on the WICED Sense EVB (below).
I just performed all of this on a new WICED Sense Kit that was brand new and taken out of the box today.

WICED SMART Explorer - Android Apps on Google Play
Broadcom's WICED SMART(TM) Explorer lets you explorer and interact with a variety of Bluetooth Smart devices.
This app allows you to scan for connectable Bluetooth Smart (LE) devices in the area, explore their services and characteristic and interact with a variety of Bluetooth profiles and services.
Together with Broadcom's WICED SMART™ Software Development Kit, it eases development effort and simplifies the implementation of wireless connectivity in an array of consumer, medical, fitness and home automation devices, especially those without existing support for networking.
Works on Android 4.3+ Devices that support Bluetooth Smart (ex. Nexus 5, Nexus 7 etc.).

Hi,
Where can I get the application note of below applications?
A4WP Power Transmitter
A4WP Power Receiver
Automation I/O Application
Blood Pressure Monitor Application
Cycling Speed and Cadence Application
Glucose Meter Application
Health Thermometer Application
Heart Rate Monitor Application
Hello Client Application
I2C Temperature sensor
There are a lot of example applications but I didn't see the application note how to connect between BCM92073x_LE_Kit and application device, which component you use for testing, etc.
Please device where I can get it.
Thanks.
Regards,
Thiha
Show LessWhere can I find WICED Sense Android app source code?
Hi There,
We are developing a Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) based on a Raspberry PI with Broadcom processor. The unit has a battery backup and we are looking for ways to reduce the power consumption to the absolute minimum in order for the battery to last as long as possible. We have come a long way but we want to improve battery life even further but run out of ideas on how to achieve that.
If there is anyone out there with experience in minimising the power consumption of a broadcom processor on a Raspberry PI board or if you know someone with such experience then we are keen to hear from you.
Cheers, Ad
Show LessAfter build, the .list file will be generated automatically.
But can we get the .map file so that we can see the full information about each section and complete memory allocation?
thanks.

Show LessI've got some tag boards (BCM92073X_LE_KIT) and custom designed circuits that are all identical based upon the 20736S. Each time I program one of the tag boards, the device is given a new unique device UUID. When I program our circuits, they all get the same UUID which causes a conflict with the host - it thinks their the same board and only one can be discovered/connected. I'm programming in the IDE using the same code and the same target. I'm using SDK 2.1.1.
Any clue on how to get unique IDs for devices that aren't tags?
Show LessBy looking to the Demo Ap and testing it, seems that ACCEL and GYRO sensors are swapped. The ACCEL sensors acts as leveler sensor as the floating air bubble travels through two dimensions. On the other hand, the GYRO sensor shows the acceleration components in the three dimensions. It is maybe better to refer to the ACCEL sensor, Compass and leveler sensors by GYRO Sensor as a whole. Thoughts?
Show LessI'm completely new to WICED and am looking for tools and/or advice on how store and display streaming graphs of data (several hours in length) from any of the WICED sensors (eg the 3 channels of the eCompass).
I realize this entails writing software/firmware but am at a loss about where to look for tools, especially graphing tools, to get me started.
Thanks for any help on this.
