Is it possible to use the Bluetooth BLE HM-10 (iBeacon) module to organize indoor navigation for Android?

Question

Arduino

An approximate idea is this: in a building / room, 3 or more iBeacons are scattered along the perimeter. There is a smartphone in which the scheme of the building and the location of all the lighthouses are indicated. The smartphone in turn polls the distance to the beacons and then draws a circle around each beacon with the appropriate radius, and at the intersection, in the ideal case, a point is obtained, but most likely a section of its location.
What for? Until I figured it out. But you have to try. I will order beacons.

Answer 1

HM-10 differs from HM-11 only in the number of output pins (adc/gpio) from the controller (cc2540/2541) and size.
About the iBeacon mode, you can download and read the datasheet on the official Chinese website: www.jnhuamao.cn/bluetooth40_en.zip , there are also examples of programs for android / iOS
