TP-Link USB Bluetooth 4.0 Dongle

As the world pushes forward into a more digital age than ever before, we are seeing a constant rise in wireless technologies like Bluetooth and WiFi, with these cool technologies being implemented in various (sometimes odd or whacky) ways into all kinds of devices from our mobile phones to our household appliances. This is why it’s becoming increasingly important for Makers like us to have good access to handy tools like the TP-Link USB Bluetooth 4.0 Dongle, so that we can keep up with current times and ensure that all of our projects can interact with the modern devices and appliances around us, giving us more chances for customising our lives, and more possibilities for creating something awesome!

 The TP-Link USB Bluetooth 4.0 Dongle is a handy tool that allows Makers to give their projects the ability to communicate without any wires, and while it’s primarily designed to plug into the USB slot on a computer, it can also be used with a good range of microcontrollers like Raspberry Pi, making it a surprisingly diverse little dongle despite what many people would think. Furthermore, because most mobile devices and smart phones nowadays have Bluetooth built into one of the integrated modules, this then enables you, as a Maker, to interact with all kinds of projects by using your smart device as a controller. This of course is perfectly complemented by useful modules like the HC-05 Bluetooth to Serial Module, allowing you to build awesome remote controlled robots, weather-reactive washing lines, time-based alarm systems as so much more – all at a relatively low price despite offering so many cool benefits.
