ON-STAGE for iOS Download on the App Store

The ON-STAGE app can be used to switch a Bluetooth LE attached LED sign on or off.

The LED sign has to be modified to use an HM10 or HM11 BLE module provided by the building instructions at: http://blog.io-expert.com/remote-on-stage

Building Instructions

 1  Hardware Connection
The base is an "ON STAGE" LED sign powered by 2x AA 1.5V batteries. The connection of the LED sign has to be changed, so it matches to the following schematic by adding a HM-10 BLE module:

 2  Initiate the HM10 module
 a  Baudrate

Connect to the HM-10 module via serial converter with 9600,8,N,1. (some configurations are 115200 baud)

 b  Check Module Version

Sending AT+VERS? or AT+VERR? should generate the answer HMSoft V540. If not, the firmware has to be updated.

 c  Setup Modes

As next the module has to be changed to be accessed by BLE:

AT+MODE1 // makes it possible to receive AT commands via BLE
AT+PWRM0 // Activates 0.4 mA unconnected, 8 mA connected

 3  Details
The ON-STAGE App will send following commands:

AT+PIO20 // turn off the PIO2 GPIO, so LED will turned off
AT+PIO21 // turn on the PIO2 GPIO, so LED will turned on

You can use the iOS App provided in the Apple AppStore: https://apple.co/3mDDcEA
