Internet of Things using Bluetooth with David I - Developer Skill Sprint - Sept 18, 2014

Posted by DavidI on Thursday, 18 September 2014 in Programming

Today's developer skill sprint is titled "Internet of Things with Bluetooth". I have uploaded the slides (slightly modified from the presentation) to Embarcadero's Slideshare site at http://www.slideshare.net/embarcaderotechnet/internet-of-things-xe7-bluetooth-skillsprintdavidi. The sample programs that I use in the demonstrations are included in Delphi, C++Builder and RAD Studio XE7 releases. The samples are also included with the Appmethod September 2014 release. You can also find the samples on Embarcadero's RAD Studio SourceForge repository at http://sourceforge.net/p/radstudiodemos/code/HEAD/tree/branches/RadStudio_XE7/.

Demo programs used in today's developer skill sprint include:

AppTethering | MediaPlayer - showing how to use Bluetooth to control an desktop application from a device
Mobile Samples | Device Sensors and Services | Bluetooth | HeartRateMonitor - shows how to use a BluetoothLE heart rate monitoring device (I use a Polar H7 chest strap) with your devices. The sample will work with any other GATT standard heart rate monitor.
Mobile Samples | Device Sensors and Services | Bluetooth | ExploreDevicesLE - allows you to find and explore BluetoothLE devices, services, characteristics.
