Product details
Description
The Adafruit Bluefruit LE Sniffer (ADA2269) is a specialized hardware diagnostic tool powered by Nordic's nRF51822 system-on-chip, engineered specifically for developers working with Bluetooth Low Energy technology. Designed to streamline wireless protocol analysis, this device passively listens to and captures live data exchanges between two active BLE nodes without introducing interference or disrupting the connection.
By leveraging dedicated firmware, it streams packet data directly into the open-source Wireshark network analyzer, offering clear helper descriptors and precise diagnostic insights. Ideal for engineers, embedded developers, and hobbyists troubleshooting connectivity issues, it focuses exclusively on 2.4GHz BLE traffic while filtering out classic Bluetooth noise.
Built with a convenient USB Type-A connector and an accessible DFU mode button for easy firmware updates, it serves as an indispensable addition to any wireless debugging toolkit.
How to use
- Plug the Adafruit Bluefruit LE Sniffer into an available USB port on your desktop computer.
- Install the required Nordic sniffer software and integrate the device with the Wireshark network analyzer.
- Use the on-board DFU mode button for firmware updates as needed.
