Digi ConnectCore devices are highly integrated system-on-modules (SOMs) that provide a complete embedded platform for building connected devices. These modules feature powerful processors, ample memory, and extensive connectivity options. With built-in Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) support, Digi ConnectCore devices offer seamless integration of Bluetooth technology into various applications.

The inclusion of BLE in Digi ConnectCore devices opens up a world of possibilities. For instance, it allows for effortless communication between devices like smartphones, tablets, and other BLE-enabled peripherals. This allows developers to create innovative solutions, such as healthcare devices, assets tracking systems, home automation, and much more.

While not all ConnectCore variants integrate a Wi-Fi chip with Bluetooth, there are alternative ways to incorporate Bluetooth functionality. One option is to use an XBee device as Bluetooth interface, where the XBee device will act like a bridge, enabling seamless communication between the ConnectCore device and Bluetooth-enabled peripherals. By connecting an XBee device to a ConnectCore device through a serial port, the Bluetooth capability of the XBee module can be harnessed to provide Bluetooth connectivity to the ConnectCore device.
