The UriBeacon example shows you how to use the built-in UriBeacon AT commands to configure the Bluefruit LE module as a UriBeacon advertiser, following Google's Physical Web UriBeacon specification.
Opening the Sketch
To open the ATCommand sketch, click on the File > Examples > Adafruit_BluefruitLE_nRF51 folder in the Arduino IDE and select uribeacon:
This will open up a new instance of the example in the IDE, as shown below. You can edit the URL that the beacon will point to, from the default http://www.adafruit.com or just upload as is to test
Configuration
Check the Configuration! page earlier to set up the sketch for Software/Hardware UART or Software/Hardware SPI. The default is hardware SPI
If using software or hardware Serial UART:
- This tutorial does not need to use the MODE pin, make sure you have the mode switch in CMD mode if you do not configure & connect a MODE pin
- Don't forget to also connect the CTS pin on the Bluefruit to ground if you are not using it! (The Flora has this already done)
Running the Sketch
Once you upload the sketch to your board (via the arrow-shaped upload icon), and the upload process has finished, open up the Serial Monitor via Tools > Serial Monitor, and make sure that the baud rate in the lower right-hand corner is set to 115200:
