With the SDK, developers can create applications that leverage the existing features of StickNFind including: connect/disconnect, battery reader, temperature reader, temperature calibration, tap counter, signal strength, set up broadcast packets with and without encryption, receive broadcast packets, set speeds (broadcast, connection), set minimum pairing RSSI, set authentication keys, update of firmware and control alert features.
"We have already had customers, engineers and developers start talking to us about numerous new and amazing applications for StickNFind," says Jimmy Buchheim, CEO of StickNFind.
