It's time to get Bluetooth 4.0 into your project, together with your phone! For aficionados of smart devices and wearables, now you can go further than hacking things bought in the market to building your own prototype out of garage. The Bluno board is the first of its kind in integrating BT 4.0(BLE) module into Arduino Uno, making it an ideal prototyping platform for both software and hardware developers to go wireless. You will be able to develop your own smart bracelet, smart pedometer and more. Through the low-power Bluetooth 4.0 technology, real-time low energy communication can be made really easy.

Bluno integrates with a TI CC2540 BT 4.0 chip with the Arduino UNO development board. It allows wireless programming via BLE, supports Bluetooth HID, supports AT command to config the BLE, and you can upgrade BLE firmware easily. Bluno is also compatible with all Arduino Uno pins which means any project made with Uno can directly go wireless!

Accessory Shield for Bluno is specially made for Bluno (BLE with Arduino Uno), which is the first of its kind in integrating BT 4.0(BLE) module into Arduino Uno. Together with Bluno, this Accessory Shield forms an ideal prototyping platform for both software and hardware developers to go wireless. You will be able to develop your own smart bracelet, smart pedometer etc through the low- power, real-time low energy communication.

With built-in seven main functional modules, this Accessory Shield is dedicated to aiding interactions between your Bluno and the physical world. These useful modules are:

• 128x64 OLED Screen: To display text input on your phone interface
