I&#x27;ve spent ages in LightBlue poking at BLE devices. I had no idea there was also a hardware module, the &quot;bean&quot;. It looks pretty nice: <a href="http://punchthrough.com/bean/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;punchthrough.com&#x2F;bean&#x2F;</a> -- definitely a lot easier than manhandling directly on the TI BLE controller...

This is great! The pin codes make this so much more secure!
