Possible Arduino 101 BLE Tutorial?

Projects Programming
1

Is there a chance that anyone out there knows of or could create a tutorial explaining the Arduino 101 and the BLE function? I'm having such a "can't see the forest for the trees moment". I'd like to be able to do multiple digital inputs and analog inputs and control/read them over an Android device. Thanks!!!

Yes I did. Evothings requires you to download their software which I currently have installed. For some reason it's not clicking. Thanks!!

Given all the info that's out there, not sure what else you're looking for.

Adafruit 'Learning' section has lots BLE information, including projects with code:

BLEPeripheral blePeripheral

While blePeripheral is nothing more then the board we are working with, is blePeripheral nothing more then the name given to the board we are working with?

BLEService ledService

There are more services then just the ledService, which has a specific UUID, What are they and where can I find a list?

BLEUnsignedCharCharacteristic switchCharacteristic("19B10001-E8F2-537E-4F6C-D104768A1214", BLERead | BLEWrite);

Another UUID. When using the nRF Connect app, I was able to write a "1" or "0" using UINT 8 or SINT 8 (unsigned versus signed). The BLERead and BLEWrite gives it the ability to Read and Write to device?

In the Sparkfun tutorial they didn't include the "Serial.begin(9600)" code.

They also had the "setLocalName" set as "101 Board". This would not show up on my list of available Bluetooth devices on my phone. Once I figured out that it didn't like the space (plus maybe not liking more then 8 characters) i could get the sketch to work (it's very similar to the "CurieBLE" sketch).

If you wanted to control more then one LED, how would that be accomplished? Instead of one bit to control LED would you use multiple bits to control multiple LEDS, and send thats data like that?

What about analog signals? Would you use A to D conversion and D to A conversion on either end to interrupt the information?

I had just thought if I got pointed to a tutorial that described this I wouldn't be wasting everyones time. But I ended up just confusing the situation anyways. Thanks as always in advance. Just the tip of the iceberg.
