The source code ends with WAITEVENT, a final statement which never returns.

Variable declarations and initialization.

Applications written in smartBASIC are event-driven rather than the sequential processing seen in early versions of BASIC.Ī typical smartBASIC application source code consists of the following: smartBASIC Essentialsīeing a structured programming language, smartBASIC offers typical modern constructs such as subroutines, functions, while, if, and for loops. It is possible to write autorun applications that continue to run to control the module’s behavior until power-down, which provides a complete embedded application. If the autorun application exits, which in virtually all cases is not the case, then the module returns to Interactive mode. If present, it automatically runs unless the nAutoRUN input pin is used to signal that the module should skip that step. The ability to interpret the application from flash ensures that the maximum amount of RAM memory is available to the user application for data variables.īy default, the module starts up in Interactive mode and checks to see if an application called $autorun$ exists in the file system.

Run-time Mode – In Run-time mode, the module reads pre-compiled BASIC applications directly from program memory and executed in-situ.

It is also used to manage the download and storage of BASIC applications in the flash file system that is subsequently used in Run-time mode. Interactive mode can be used by a host processor or a PC to directly configure and control the module.

Interactive Mode – In Interactive mode, commands are sent via the UART and are executed immediately, analogous to the behavior of a modem using AT commands.

The BL600 or BT900 BLE module running smartBASIC has two different modes of operation:

Make the BLE device advertise every 25 mx for a period of one minute, inviting a BLE connection.

More information is available in the BL600 smartBASIC Extensions Manual in the documentation tab of the BL600 product page and the BT900 smartBASIC Extensions Manual in the documentation tab of the BT900 product page. Sample smartBASIC applications are available for download in the BL600 or BT900 Firmware Files in the Laird Bluetooth Download Center.

This provides a fast way for you to upgrade your product range with the minimum number of changes to its existing firmware. If you already have a product with a wired communications link, such as a modem, you can write a smartBASIC application for one of our wireless modules that copies the interface for your wired module.Many use cases would combine the BL600 of BT900 with a sensor device. smartBASIC allows sensor data to be manipulated using arithmetic and string processing functions allowing intelligent use of the Bluetooth Smart radio.Since the Laird BL600 module and BT900 module can autorun the application every time it powers up, you can implement a complete design within the module.The following are three good reasons for writing applications in smartBASIC: SmartBASIC was designed to make BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), or Bluetooth® Smart technology, development quicker and simpler, vastly cutting down time to market. Why Should I Use smartBASIC to Write Applications?

The BASIC programming language has been around for over 40 years in many variants and platforms, a good background and introduction is available at. SmartBASIC is an implementation of a structured BASIC programming language optimized for use on low-cost embedded systems with limited memory by being highly efficient in terms of memory usage.
