The iNode Serial USB Transceiver Module

Description

iNode Serial USB Transceiver - is a Low Energy Bluetooth adapter module with a USB 2.0 connector. Because it is seen in the PC as a serial port, it can be used in your own programs to communicate in a simple way with BLE devices - eg iNode. A basic set of HCI commands transmitted in the form of HEX character strings was used for control. To enable scanning, just send the string 010C20020100 to the module. The same communication method was used in iNode LAN via TCP / IP or Websocket or iNode Serial Transceiver UART via COM port.

Additional functionality of the iNode Serial USB Transceiver is a special characteristic which, after establishing the BLE connection, enables bidirectional BLE RS232 data transfer.
