Zero wires, infinite uses: Bean connects your physical things to the digital world.
The LightBlue Bean is one of the most expansive Bluetooth Low Energy development platforms. Whether you are a developer working on the latest smartphone accessory or a Maker getting your hands dirty, the LightBlue Bean is the fastest way to develop Bluetooth Low Energy products.
Prototype your product in a matter of minutes. MIDI support allows you to create musical instruments, and interact with compatible apps, such as Apple’s Garageband. Receive your phone’s notifications using ANCS, or emulate a keyboard or media remote using the HID functionality.
App developers can easily integrate the Bean into their own app using the publicly available Android, iOS or cross-platform Node.js SDKs.
The Bean is the first Arduino-compatible microcontroller board that's wirelessly programmable over Bluetooth Low Energy.
Including an RGB LED and 3-axis accelerometer, the LightBlue Bean helps you build thousands of applications right out of the box.
- Create a motion alarm to warn you if someone moves your bike.
- Get wireless notifications for text messages, emails, and Facebook posts.
- Build an iPhone-controlled Nerf gun turret.
Since there are no wires needed to program it, you can build the Bean right into your next project. What will you build next? Check out the Bean website for tutorials, example projects, and software.
