This is a very simple demonstration of the Unsecured Bluetooth Low Energy technology.
I am using two Raspberry Pi Pico W for this.
One will be operated in Central Role and the other will be in the Peripheral Role.
The peripheral device will advertise the temperature data of the rp2040 chip.
The Central device will scan the surrounding and connect to the peripheral device to receive the temperature data.
The central device does not use any passcode or pairing methods to connect to the peripheral device.
Note: You will need ble_advertising.py
You can check the code How to use Bluetooth LE of Raspberry Pi Pico W using MicroPython
ble_Central_device.py
# This example finds and connects to a peripheral running the
# UART service (e.g. ble_simple_peripheral.py).
