In order not to waste time on installation in the workshop, it is better to get all the installations done beforehand. It’s not a lot, I estimate that all installations will take you less than an hour.

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:
-
Open the “atcommands” Sketch
(File-> example->"Adafruit BluefruitLE nRF51"->atcommands) -
Compile and upload the sketch, and open the Arduino Serial Monitor.
-
In the serial monitor, type “AT+BLEGETADDR” and press “SEND”.
-
The MAC address of your BLE device will be printed to screen (write it down!).
-
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:
