1、 Introduction to iBeacon VG05
iBeaconVG05 is a Bluetooth 4.2 beacon device with IP67 dust and water resistance, broadcasting Bluetooth data based on BLE protocol. The beacon VG05 is usually fixed in a fixed place such as a wall/ceiling, and continuously propagates its own Bluetooth data packets to the surrounding area at certain time intervals, such as UUID, Major, Minor, RSSI, etc. VG05 is usuallyAs a Bluetooth slave device, working inIn broadcast mode. VG05 is commonly used as a Bluetooth base station in indoor positioning systems, especiallyActive Bluetooth positioning and navigation solutionorBluetooth 5.0 positioning systemIn the middle.

2、 VG05 internal module
IBeacon VG05 is developed based on Nordic nRF52810 Bluetooth chip. Powered by 2 ER14250 batteries, the battery life is related to the internal parameter settings of the beacon. By default, the battery can be used for more than 3 years. In addition, there are burn ports and a pair of UART serial ports on the PCB board inside VG05.
3、 IBeacon VG05 features:
*IBeacon has an ultra-low power consumption design, with a default broadcast interval of 500ms and a battery life of over 3 years;
*VG05 is equipped with waterproof silicone gaskets and IP67 dust and water discharge rating. It can be used outdoors and is not afraid of harsh working environments;
*The VG05 bottom shell is equipped with magnetic round iron sheets inside, which are easy to install quickly and can be attached to iron walls and columns;
*Compatible with iBeacon (Apple)/Eddystone (Google) broadcast protocols, allowing users to set iBeacon mode and Eddystone using a mobile app;
*The coverage range of broadcast signals can reach up to 100 meters;
*IBeacon VG05 supports flexible internal parameter settings for mobile apps, includingMajor,Minorclass;
* Compact and lightweight, with a beautiful appearance;
*Compliant with RoHS certification standards (lead-free), FCC, CE certification;
4、 IBeacon VG05 application
IBeacon VG05 is commonly used in the following four scenarios:
1. VG05 is used as a Bluetooth base station in indoor positioning systems, such as in Bluetooth positioning and navigation systems, as shown in the following figure

2. VG05 is used in the attendance check-in system for clocking in and out, as shown in the following figure

3. VG05 is used for near-field information push based on geographic location information, such as in shopping malls, to push product coupons to users' phones through mobile apps.

4. VG05 combines WeChat Shake and its peripherals to create interactive applications such as Shake Voting and Shake Red Envelopes.

6、 IBeacon VG05 parameter configuration
SkyBeacon is a mobile app designed for configuring VG05, developed by the Skylab R&D team. You can download this mobile app from the Android Market (Android version) or Apple Store (iOS version) (the app name isSkyBeacon). By using this app to connect to VG05, you can modify its parameters such as UUID, Major, Minor, and device name. When VG05 is in broadcast mode, these parameters will be broadcasted.
