Enables Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity for Arduino boards, supporting both peripheral and central modes.
ArduinoBLE is an official Arduino library that enables Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity on compatible Arduino boards. It allows Arduino devices to function as both BLE peripherals (broadcasting data) and central devices (connecting to other peripherals), facilitating wireless communication with smartphones, tablets, and other BLE-enabled hardware.
Arduino developers and makers building wireless IoT projects, wearable devices, sensor networks, or any application requiring low-power Bluetooth communication between microcontrollers and mobile devices.
As an official Arduino library, it provides a standardized, well-documented API for BLE across multiple Arduino boards, eliminating the need for complex low-level BLE programming and ensuring compatibility with the Arduino ecosystem.
ArduinoBLE library for Arduino
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
As an official library, it benefits from consistent updates, documentation on arduino.cc, and seamless integration with the Arduino IDE, reducing setup headaches.
Supports multiple boards like MKR WiFi 1010, UNO R4 WiFi, and Portenta H7, as listed in the README, providing a unified API across diverse Arduino hardware.
Enables both peripheral and central BLE modes in one library, allowing flexible wireless interactions such as broadcasting data or connecting to other devices without extra dependencies.
The README includes a detailed compatibility table specifying required firmware versions for each board, helping avoid common setup errors and ensuring reliability.
Only works with specific Arduino boards that have built-in BLE modules, excluding other microcontrollers and creating vendor dependency for BLE functionality.
Requires matching exact firmware versions per board, as shown in the compatibility table, which adds setup steps and can confuse beginners or slow down prototyping.
Focuses on basic BLE operations; lacks support for advanced protocols like BLE mesh or proprietary extensions, which might be necessary for complex industrial or IoT applications.
