We started off the class getting to know each other, and trying to understand what the group project wanted us to do. We were assigned the Bluetooth Low Energy UART group project, and after looking online we found the android API from adafruit, and downloaded it onto our phone. The app reads bluetooth connections available in the area, and now we are working towards connecting the phone to the bluefruit LE UART friend device. After looking at some forums online, we are thinking of creating a connection where we can send messages to and from a computer and the device. We downloaded the adafruit_bluefruitLE_nRF51 custom library, and loaded it into the arduino program. Now we are trying different connection methods from the bluetooth device, to the flora, to the computer, just to make sure the device itself works. We were finally able to make the correct connections to get the LED on the bluetooth device to turn on. Now we are looking through the online resources of adafruit to connect the UART to the flora. We followed the instructions on one of the adafruit pages and commented some of the code used out, and the we were able to get a connection from the computer to the bluefruit LE UART. We were then able to connect the phone to the UART using the application we downloaded.
