Thanks! This is really helpful. Looking to work on some iBeacon apps myself and programming the BLE device was the most confusing part to me.

No problem, figured make it as open as possible for people to work on.

Nice, I'm guessing with that file you can then flash your iBeacon hardware.

As a total noob, any pointers for how I learn how to make a working iBeacon that I could use in "production"?

Ton of tuts out there. The quickest way for me to do it is with a BLED-112 device. These are simple USB sticks with the proper BLE chip installed. You can also buy prefabbed kits from many sites.

Care to provide some links you found useful for building the iBeacon hardware? Is it something someone without any prior electronics experience could pull off?

I'm keen to get my hands on one of these and play around with the possibilities.

One thing about BlueGiga, all of their software requires windows.

Is there no source code link or did I miss it?
