MATLAB: How to communicate with a BLE (Bluetooth low energy) device in MATLAB

MATLAB

I like to communicate with a BLE device. Does MATLAB support this?

Best Answer

Starting from R2019b, you can use MATLAB to scan and interact with nearby Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) peripheral devices. No additional toolbox or support package is required. For more information, see the "Bluetooth Low Energy Communication" chapter in our documentation:

In R2019a and earlier, BLE support is not available in MATLAB. BLE devices which support the Bluetooh Serial Port Profile (SPP) can be connected by using the Bluetooth support from Instrument Control Toolbox:

MATLAB: Can the HC-06 bluetooth module be used with the Android BLE block

Hi Matthew,

 HC-06 or HC-05 bluetooth module does not support BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy) communication. Android BLE blocks support only BLE communication.

If you want to send the sensor data from Arduino, you can use wifi shield or ESP8266 and send the data to Android. Check the below example for more information on it.

You can use BLE module on Arduino, program it and send data to Android BLE blocks.
