App UI / UX – Part 2

In the previous article we began improving the UI of the app we developed as part of the Bluetooth LE series. We updated the layout to something slightly more interesting, but there is still more work to do. In this article we’ll look at how to use custom typefaces within our app.

App UI / UX – Part 1

In the previous series on Bluetooth LE we got a simple app working which read temperature and humidity values from a Texas Instruments SensorTag, and displayed them. Functionally the app worked quite well but, because the series was focused on BLE topics, we neglected the UI somewhat. In this series we’ll take a look at…

Bluetooth LE – Part 6

Previously in this series we’ve looked at the various steps that we need to take before we can begin to get temperature and humidity notifications from a TI SensorTag. In the final article in this series we’ll complete things by registering to receive notifications, and receiving them

Bluetooth LE – Part 5

Previously in this series we have discovered a BLE sensor and connected to it. All that remains is to actually get some data from it but that isn’t quite as straightforward as it may seem, at first. In this article we’ll look at GATT characteristics and how they facilitate data exchange between the host and…

Bluetooth LE – Part 4

Previously in this series we got basic BLE device discovery working for our app to display ambient temperature and humidity with values obtained from a TI SensorTag over BLE. In this article we’ll look at connecting to the SensorTag now that we can find it.
