React Native and Bluetooth Low Energy (How to Create a Complete Project Able to Interact with Embedded Devices by BLE)

In this course, “React Native and Bluetooth Low Energy,” we will examine the topic from the title quite broadly but emphasize “Bluetooth Low Energy.” BLE is suitable for low-power devices like health monitoring devices, smart watches, and many IoT gadgets. It’s also perfect for sophisticated contemporary apparatuses that require a lot of power for their operations with a comparable frequency to the battery charging time.

Using the ESP32 microcontroller, we will be able to have a flexible tool with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth operation. Following this tutorial, you can design a BLE product using the ESP32. Furthermore, you will create an Android application that should be able to interact with the already developed BLE device; thus enabling data exchange and real-time control from the BLE device. This approach to the project enables one to gain practical experience in hardware and software production.

At the end of the “React Native and Bluetooth Low Energy” course, you will comprehend BLE technology deeply, know how to design and implement BLE devices and develop mobile applications. Whether it is for passion or work, a student or a professional who wants to develop his or her range of skills, this course will provide all the elements required to design efficient Bluetooth applications.
