  • discover services on a bluetooth device
  • discover characteristics on a bluetooth device

• It allows you to work with custom UUIDS user in the Bluetooth protocol
• It comes with an RFDuino class that allows you to easily pass around devices in your code and operate on them:
  • write data to this device
  • read data from this device
  • connect / disconnect from the device

• The pod comes with two demo applications: RFDuino Example and RBL Nano Example, see Red Bear Lab Nano that allow you to:
  • connect to a device
