This board can connect to anything that supports Bluetooth version 4.0 and above.

In order to be able to program the board from the Arduino IDE, we need to add support for this type of board. In the Arduino IDE 1.6.4 and above, adding support has been made very easy. If you take a look in the menu by navigating to Tools | Boards, at the top of the list you will find the Boards Manager…. If you open it up, it should look something like Figure 7.1:
