    &lt;span&gt;The Bluefruit LE UART Friend makes it easy to add Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity to anything with a hardware or software serial port. We even have nice hardware flow control so you won&amp;#39;t have to think about losing data. Connect to your Arduino or other microcontroller or even just a standard FTDI cable for debugging and testing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This multi-function module can do quite a lot! For most people, they&amp;#39;ll be very happy to use the standard Nordic UART RX/TX connection profile. In this profile, the Bluefruit acts as a data pipe, that can &amp;#39;transparently&amp;#39; transmit back and forth from your iOS or Android device. You can use our&amp;nbsp;iOS App&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;or&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Android App&lt;span&gt;, or&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;write your own to communicate with the UART service&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
    
        &lt;h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom"&gt;Features&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;32KB SRAM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Peak current draw&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Transport: UART @ 9600 baud with HW flow control (CTS+RTS required!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;5V-safe inputs (Arduino Uno friendly, etc.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;On-board 3.3V voltage regulation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Bootloader with support for safe OTA firmware updates&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Easy AT command set to get up and running quickly&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;span&gt;The Bluefruit LE UART Friend makes it easy to add Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity to anything with a hardware or software serial port. We even have nice hardware flow control so you won&amp;#39;t have to think about losing data. Connect to your Arduino or other microcontroller or even just a standard FTDI cable for debugging and testing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This multi-function module can do quite a lot! For most people, they&amp;#39;ll be very happy to use the standard Nordic UART RX/TX connection profile. In this profile, the Bluefruit acts as a data pipe, that can &amp;#39;transparently&amp;#39; transmit back and forth from your iOS or Android device. You can use our&amp;nbsp;iOS App&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;or&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Android App&lt;span&gt;, or&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;write your own to communicate with the UART service&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
