Summary

This chapter has presented the basics of getting you up and running with Bluetooth. In this chapter, we introduced BLE with the Blend Micro and had a closer look at how to get stared with gesture recognition using accelerometers. We also learned two ways of adding support for third party boards to the Arduino IDE.

In the next chapter, we will introduce yet another Arduino compatible board using wireless communication called the Particle core, but this time, the focus will be on Wi-Fi. The next chapter is an "in-between" chapter where we will introduce the Spark Core. This will act as the foundation for the last chapter and project where we will combine most of the technologies and knowledge from the previous chapters.
