Microchip Technology RN4871 BLE PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board
Microchip RN4871 Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board provides an evaluation and development platform for the small form factor RN4871 BLUETOOTH® 4.2 Low Energy Module. The RN4871 BLE Modules are next-generation devices with an easy-to-use ASCII-style command interface over UART. The RN4871 BLE PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board enables evaluation of the RN4871 and development of BLE applications by two different methods. The board can interface via USB and any PC terminal program, or over the PICtail interface connected to one of Microchip’s microcontroller development boards.
