Turn Any Room into a Smart Space with This ESP32 BLE iBeacon Kit — Pre-Tested, No Soldering

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Your phone becomes a radar. Walk toward the blinking LEDs, and a free app displays “immediate” — just over arm’s length away. Step back, and it shifts to “near” or “far.” This kit puts invisible Bluetooth Low Energy signals right into your hands, turning the ESP32 into a configurable iBeacon transmitter. You’ll see hexadecimal UUIDs, major, and minor fields stream live, while two LEDs confirm the beacon is advertising. It’s a hands‑on introduction to wireless protocols that makes the abstract feel like magic.

What You'll Build

A fully functional BLE iBeacon broadcaster on a breadboard. The ESP32 advertises a custom UUID, major, and minor values that any BLE scanner app can detect. Two 5mm LEDs light up to show advertising status and change behavior as you move your phone closer or farther. You’ll watch real‑time RSSI numbers and approximate distance readings — exactly how retailers trigger in‑store offers or how museums deliver location‑aware content. When the kit is done, you can pop it into a small enclosure, power it with a portable battery, and create your own proximity‑based treasure hunt at home or at school.

What You'll Learn

• How BLE advertising packets are structured and sent by an ESP32
• Configuring UUID, major, and minor fields inside the iBeacon specification
• Wiring LEDs to ESP32 GPIO pins and controlling them based on beacon events
• Using smartphone apps (nRF Connect, LightBlue) to interpret proximity data from signal strength

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

CBSE students (Classes 6–12) tackling wireless communication demonstrations, ATL Tinkering Lab participants prototyping IoT proximity solutions, and school STEM clubs running easy BLE workshops. It’s also a meaningful mini‑project for first‑year B.Tech ECE/EEE students exploring Bluetooth Low Energy. With all connections on a solderless breadboard and USB power, even curious 5‑year‑olds can assemble it alongside a parent — no hot tools, no risk.

Built and Backed by Compoden

Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
