u-connectXplorer

BLE companion for u-blox

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Companion app for u-blox u-connectXpress modules. BLE scan & connect, SPS/NUS serial console, GATT browser, MQTT, sockets, and OTA — built by u-blox engineers. u-connectXplorer is the official companion app for u-blox u-connectXpress wireless modules. It is built for engineers and developers evaluating, integrating, or debugging u-blox short-range modules. The app supports BLE Central (GATT Client), BLE Peripheral (GATT Server), socket terminals, MQTT, and OTA firmware update — all in one tool. SUPPORTED u-blox MODULES • NORA-W36 — Wi-Fi 4 + BLE 5.3 • NORA-B26 — BLE 6.0 • NORA-B27 — BLE 6.0 • NORA-B20 series — BLE 6.0 with DFU OTA BLUETOOTH CENTRAL • Scan with name, UUID, RSSI, and Resolvable Set Identifier filters • Full GATT browser — discover services, read, write, subscribe to notifications • GATT profile cards — Battery, Heart Rate, Device Information, Environmental Sensing, Current Time, Automation IO • MTU negotiation up to 247 bytes • Connection dashboard with live RSSI, MTU, and PHY information SERIAL CONSOLE • u-blox SPS (Serial Port Service) — credit-based flow control • Nordic UART Service (NUS) — bidirectional serial • Throughput tests with live kB/s chart (Echo, TX flood, RX, RTT) BLE PERIPHERAL (GATT SERVER) • Advertise SPS or NUS for module testing • Standard GATT profiles — Battery, Heart Rate, Environmental, Device Info, HID Keyboard, Current Time • Custom GATT service builder — define your own UUIDs and characteristics WI-FI TOOLS • Wi-Fi Provisioning over BLE (Nordic protocol) — configure modules wirelessly NETWORK & IoT TOOLS • Socket Terminal — TCP, UDP, TLS (client and server) with mutual-TLS support • TLS certificate manager — upload PEM certificates, build SecurityContext • MQTT 3.1.1 client — publish, subscribe, QoS, last will, TLS • Network diagnostics — ping with RTT chart and gateway detection, mDNS service discovery, iperf2 bandwidth test, network interface info FIRMWARE UPDATE OVER BLE • Nordic DFU OTA for nRF-based modules • SMP / mcumgr / SUIT OTA for nRF54 series (NORA-B20, B26, B27) • Firmware browser with version picker ADDITIONAL TOOLS • Protocol Analyzer — real-time BLE packet capture, hex + text payload, JSON/CSV export • Tracker detection — AirTag, SmartTag, Tile, Find My Device Network • BLE Chat — peer-to-peer messaging and collaborative drawing over SPS/NUS • Remote control API — JSON-RPC 2.0 WebSocket server for automation This app does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. All wireless communication happens directly between your iPhone, your u-blox module, and the destinations you choose.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

BLE Dice Demo upgrades — real-time tracking and correct face orientation. • 8× faster Bluetooth scan rate (~20 Hz) so the on-screen 3D dice tracks the physical die in near real time • Fixed dice orientation for faces 2, 3, 4 and 5 — adopted the proven s-center YXZ Euler math so every face is now displayed correctly • Slerp smoothing damps jitter at the higher scan rate for a fluid render • New live chip shows Top + Front face and current sample rate per die • Verified face order against ANNA-B5 hardware as the default • Standalone Dice render test screen for renderer-only debugging without hardware
