Bluegiga Technologies Bluetooth Low Energy Starter Kit is based on a BLE112, Bluetooth low energy module--a single mode device targeted for low power sensors and accessories. Bluegiga Technologies Bluetooth Low Energy Starter Kit offers all Bluetooth low energy features: radio, stack, profiles, and application space for customer applications, so an external processor is not needed. Flexible hardware interfaces are also provided to connect sensors, simple user interfaces, or even displays directly to the module. Bluegiga's BG Profile Toolkit™ offers an environment for rapid Bluetooth profile development and allows for in-module software development. Bluetooth low energy application development is made extremely simple by Bluegiga's BG Script™, which enables developers to automate in-module software functions. BLE112 can be powered directly with a standard 3V coin cell battery or a pair of AAA batteries. In lowest power sleep mode it consumes only 400nA and will wake up in a few hundred microseconds.
