Configuration

Ibks10 – Version 2.0

Set the secret password (default factory value 00000000) in the 8 bit
microswitch and press the button to enter in configuration mode, then a GATT
service will be available for some time. iBks parameters can be configured by
any BLE Central device writing on the following characteristics of the 0xFFF0
service:

Usage

Accordingly to the Apple® iBeacons protocol, iBks10 will advertise the
packet with the fixed preamble and the user data as described above. All other
platforms can also read this data and process like iOS does it.

Broadcast the button status is interesting for user interaction applications
since smartPhone APP can detect the status and how close the user is to the
iBks. The applications are limited just by imagination.

iBks also broadcasts the Battery level, so developers can use the
smartPhone APP as a battery level tracking tool. If some of them have to be
replaced the APP can report to the server.
