Notes:

• The Eagle design files are created using Eagle v5.11.0
• The Firmware v1.0.0 for the BLE112 module on the BLE-Shield was created and compiled for the Bluegiga BLE112 SDK v1.0.3
• The Arduino Sketches have been tested with Arduino 1.0.1

BLE-Shield iPhone App

The BLE-Shield app provides access to the BLE-Shield Service and their characteristics. It's user interface is implemented like a chat application. The chart partners are the BLE-Shield and the iPhone, illustrated by small icons.

Once the BLE-Shield is connected, the application will automatically enable notifications on the RX characteristic. So whenever the BLE-Shield's 16 byte buffer is filled completely, the buffer will be notified to the iPhone.

The app was developed using Xcode 4.5.2, iOS6 SDK and tested on an iPhone4S and iPhone5 running iOS6.0.1
