Ezurio BL653 Development Kits provide a platform for rapid wireless connectivity prototyping and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) plus Near Field Communication (NFC) applications. These kits are designed to support the rapid development of applications and software for the BL653 series of BLE modules. The BLE modules are loaded with integrated smartBASIC runtime engine firmware but no onboard smartBASIC. These kits offer several header connectors that help isolate onboard sensors and UART from the BL653 module to create different configurations. The BL653 development kits provide USB-to-Virtual COM port conversion through an FTDI chip – part number FT232R.
