What is Beetle?

The "Beetle" series derives its core notion from minimalism without compromising functionality. It has been helping people to solve problems of low-cost controller, and has been providing a low cost solution for disposable projects, such as DIY projects, workshops, gift projects, E-Textiles and educational since its debut.

The new Bluno Beetle is another milestone in the Beetle line, which gives wearables developers a new option in their prototype design. It is fully compatible with Bluno in instructions and procedures. Support Bluetooth HID and ibeacon modes.
