STMicroelectronics X-NUCLEO-IDB05A2 BLUETOOTH® LE Expansion Board

STMicroelectronics X-NUCLEO-IDB05A2 BLUETOOTH® Low Energy (BLE) Expansion Board provides a demonstration and development platform for the BlueNRG-M0 BLE Network Processor Module. The BlueNRG-M0 is Bluetooth v4.2 compliant and FCC and IC certified. It supports simultaneous master/slave roles and can behave as a Bluetooth Low Energy sensor and hub device at the same time.

The X-NUCLEO-IDB05A2 Expansion Board is compatible with the ST Morpho (not mounted) and Arduino UNO R3 connector layout. The Expansion Board is designed to work with one of the STM32 Nucleo Development Boards, with the NUCLEO-L053R8 and NUCLEO-F401RE Development Boards recommended.
