It can be powered via USB host or external battery.&nbsp; The RN-4678-PICtail utilizes the RN4678 module, a fully-certified Bluetooth 4.2 dual mode RF module supporting Bluetooth Classic SPP (Serial Port Profile) and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), to provide a Bluetooth serial data connection.&nbsp; <br /><br />The RN-4678-PICtail provides a USB to UART converter allowing a flexible interface to the host PC, a PC terminal utility, and Smartphone Apps to drive both classic SPP and BLE data connections.<br /><br /><br /><strong>Applications:<br /><br /></strong>1.
