What's New

* Full data logging added! Download a CSV transcript of your session with your peripheral through iTunes -> Apps -> File Sharing when your iOS Device is connected
* Fixed a bug related to default user settings and scanning
* Updated for the very latest changes made to iOS6.1.3
* Added Push Notifications (used sparingly to keep you informed of any major reported problems, sales on our BLE-related products)

App Description

BTLExplorer is a utility application designed to fully enumerate Bluetooth Low Energy Services and Characteristics.

With BTLExplorer, engineers can ...
* Scan for Bluetooth Smart accessories and quickly discover their services and characteristics.
* Talk bi-directionally to your BLE accessory using either ASCII or Hex text entry.
* Build up a histogram of RSSI for characterizing your BLE device in your specific environment.
* Interact with KS Technologies' Products, a BLE Gumstick and a BLE Proximity Tag, with special views.
* With iOS6, you can now fully communicate with other iOS and OS X based devices!

We use this app extensively when creating our own custom Bluetooth Smart accessory designs and hope you will find it useful, too! Since it is an important tool for us, we have lots of ideas on how to improve the app and look forward to hearing your ideas, too.
