BLE Tutorial for Arduino using BleuIO

An example project showing a quick way to setup an Arduino with a USB Host Shield as a USB CDC Host capable of communicating with BleuIO

Description

When a BleuIO Dongle is connected to the USB port, the BleuIO Dongle will start advertising. It will then act as a terminal, taking input and sending data to the Arduino Virtual Com Port.

We have used an Arduino Uno Rev. 3 with SparkFun’s USB Host Shield (DEV-09947) for this example.
