Hi,
is there any way of sending a vcard file from an espruino microcontroller to a smartphone interfacing the microcontroller with an AT-09 with HM-10 BLE module?
It would be very usefull for creating an ibeacon that sends proximity messages without paring devices.
A help would be appreciated.
THanks

Alessio

I had a quick look and I don't think there is a way. You would have to look at the HM-10 documentation. If the HM-10 can do it then Espruino should be able to make the HM-10 do it.

It is possible someone makes a pre-programmed HC-05/HC-06 module that will do it, but I haven't heard of one (and I don't think the normal modules will do it off the shelf).

Sorry about that - if vcard could be sent over Bluetooth LE then Puck.js could do it - but I don't think it is possible. I believe vcard has to be sent over normal Bluetooth.
