The BM71-XPRO board is designed to be able to easily add Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) functionality to your XPRO development tools. It can be used as an extension to your favorite SAMx or AVRx XPRO boards or can be used standalone. The BM71 XPRO is fully supported within Atmel Studio with example code in ASF3.

With Microchip Bluetooth Low Energy modules, there’s no need to be an RF expert or navigate the costly and time-consuming certification process. These modules come with global certification, preprogrammed firmware and a simple ASCII interface for ease of use. Each module’s data sheet also provides board placement and layout guides to further simplify your development.

• Fully certified for use in USA, Canada, Europe, Japan, China, Korea and Taiwan to save time and money
• ASCII interface enables simple communication with host MCU
• Preprogrammed with user-friendly firmware
• Drop-in wireless cable replacement
• High level of integration significantly reduces external Bill of Material and costs

Because delivering connected devices shouldn’t be complex. No matter what device you’re working on, or what market you’re in.Let’s simplify Intelligence with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
