The ever-growing number of smart devices enabling the Internet of Things (IoT) in several contexts demands for the availability of a set of tools, both hardware and software, allowing end-users to fast prototype applications for different scenarios. This work presents an implementation of a star topology network based on the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) protocol, exploiting the ST's STM32 Open Development Environment (ODE). It setups a simple sensor network whose central node collects data from several peripheral nodes and forwards them to an iOS/Android smartphone application, where data are visualized.
