BLE Warm-Up #2
Find Your Device MAC Address

Looking for your own BLE device (the Bluefruit-LE board) but can’t recognize it?

Every device can be recognized by it’s MAC address.


Instructions:

  1. Open the “atcommands” Sketch
    (File-> example->"Adafruit BluefruitLE nRF51"->atcommands)

  2. Compile and upload the sketch, and open the Arduino Serial Monitor.

  3. In the serial monitor, type “AT+BLEGETADDR” and press “SEND”.

  4. The MAC address of your BLE device will be printed to screen (write it down!).

  5. Now you can look for it on the Bluefruit-LE Application, by pressing on one of the devices with a high RSSI and check if the MAC address matches.

 

Here are screenshots for the process:
