Hello everyone,
I am trying to make a second screen for my ipad. iPad will have to send continuous screen shots in format of picture to my device that is connected to an eink screen. I am going to implement Bluetooth 4.0 (low energy) for this wireless transmission. I have never worked with BLE 4.0 and I was just wondering if Bluetooth 4.0 (low energy) can handle this and if it is a good choice. I chose BLE 4.0 over Bluetooth Classic because I didnt want to go through apple's MFi program.

thanks

BLE Is a cut down version of full fat blue tooth. You are limited to 0.27Mb/s so if this is ok then yeah fine. Also the frequency hoping is only 40 x 2MHz slots instead of 79 1MHz for full bluetooth. If you have the power go for full BT.
