UDP broadcasting text messages though BLE

Netduino Development
1

I have a requirement to broadcast simple text using UDP through ble, to be received and processed by another netduino. Is that possible?, had it been tested?, any recommendations regarding BLE hardware?, sample code? …

BLE follows an Advertising model. This should be fairly simple to implement, but I’ve not got a working example at the moment.

Thats good news. I don’t really know where to start, should I use UART? but I think that it requires configuring one ble as master and others as slaves … that doesn’t sound like ‘broadcasting’!. Any getting started guide or samples are really appreciated

I’ve had good luck with the RedBear BLE Mini: http://redbearlab.com/blemini/
