Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2540

Hi.

I am brand new to CC2540 and Bluetooth in general! I just bought a CC2540 Mini Development Kit and programmed the USB dongle and Key Fob as said in the user's guide. Using BTool and the USB dongle I can discover the Key Fob and pair them. But my MacBook Air (which supports BlueTooth 4.0) wouldn't see them! So what should I do to make them discoverable?

Thank you in advance.

Unfortunately, while the MacBook Air contains HW support for Bluetooth low energy, it does not seem like there is any SW support yet. Until then, you will not be able to connect the keyfob to the MacBook Air. I imagine that Apple will add SW support at some point in the future.
