BLE Module with MikroBus Interface

 

PDF datasheet and reference files.

 

The Black Oak Engineering BLE Module with MikroBus interface (#BE-MKBL) provides SIG v5.0 Bluetooth in a compact, standardized module. It has an integrated chip antenna and matching network. Black Oak Engineering’s (BOE) industry-leading device drivers are included. The complete BLE stack is integrated, with a simple UART interface. The Module is certified globally with all major regulatory agencies (see list below). It has a wide operating temperature range of -40 to +85 °C (-40 to +185 °F). It lends itself well to the development of systems for data acquisition, user interface, AI/ML/Edge, IOT, automation, and OEM integration.

 

A Board Support Package (BSP) and a complete set of various tested drivers is available at our GitHub. BOE releases source code and other collateral under an attached MIT license.

 

MikroBus is a common, convenient interface form factor. The #BE-MKBL requires only the RST, 3V3, Gnd, UART Tx & Rx, and PWM lines. There are two rows of eight sockets, 100-mil (2.54 mm) separation, 900 mil (22.86 mm) row to row. Board is 1.1 x 1.3 inch (28 x 33 mm).
