BLE UART time sender

In Apple app store: search for: BLE time sender Click picture to enlarge

This app is an universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART) terminal app.

The app sends, after connection to a BLE client, time and date as a string prefixed with a T for time as HHMMSS, like T150633, and a D for date as DDMMYYYY, like D15032026.

The app connects to a BLE client that searches for the TIMESENDER_DEVICE_NAME "BLE-UARTtime".

When connected the time display with turn from black to blue

See how to connect with an ESP32 on my Github pages referenced at the bottom of this page.
 
The app runs on IOS devices and connects with devices like Nordic nRF MCU's built in Arduino's like Nano ESP32, Nano 33 IOT, RP2040 Connect or MKR1010. 

When connected the time and date are send every minute.

First the time and a second later the date.

At the bottom of the app there is a possibility to send strings to the connected device that can be used to operate a menu or start commands in the connected device.

I mainly use the app to set time and date in my word clocks.
