 The second job of the scheduler is to periodically interrupt execution to read (poll) the various inputs to the micro:bit (the buttons, pins, etc.) and fire off events (such as “button A pressed”). Recall that the firing of an event causes the event handler subprogram associated with that event to be queued for later execution. The scheduler uses a timer built into the micro:bit hardware to interrupt execution every 6 milliseconds and poll the inputs, which is more than fast enough to catch the quickest press of a button.

 We will call this “passing control of execution” rather than “passing the ball”.  However, in the world of the micro:bit, the concurrently executing subprograms are not aware of each other, so they don’t actually pass control directly to one another.  Rather they pass control of execution back to the scheduler and the scheduler determines the subprogram to pass control to next.  The programmer inserts a call to the `pause` function to indicate a point in the subprogram where control of execution passes to the scheduler. Also, when a subprogram ends execution, control passes to the scheduler.

 The `forever` loop actually is a function that takes a subprogram (an *Action* in Touch Develop) as a parameter.

+# Call a function
+
+The simplest way to get started in JavaScript with your micro:bit is to
+call one of the micro:bit's built-in JavaScript functions. Just like Blocks
+are organized into categories/drawers, the micro:bit functions are organized by
+namespaces, with names corresponding to the drawer names.  The `basic` namespace 
+contains a number of helpful functions, such as:
+
+```typescript
+basic.showString("Hello!")
+```
+
+If you want to see all functions available in the `basic` namespace, simply type `basic`
+followed by `.` and a list of all the functions will appear. 
+
+![](/static/mb/js/basicFuns.png)
+
+This feature is known as "Intellisense". Continue typing to select one of the functions, 
+or click on one of the functions to select. You also narrow down the set of functions by typing, as below:
+
+![](/static/mb/js/basicIntell.png)
+
+You can type anything to see what Intellisense will find for you. Here's an example
+of what happens when you type the word `for`:
+![](/static/mb/js/forIntell.png)
+
+## Function parameter values
+
+You might have noticed that the call `showString` above takes one parameter value, 
+the string to be scrolled on the LED screen. There is a second (optional)
+parameter that controls the speed of the scroll. Try this:
+
+```typescript
+basic.showString("Hello!",50)
+```
+
+Intellisense shows all the available parameters for a function. 
+
+## Left and right parentheses, please!
+
+Whenever you want to call a function, you give the name of the function
+followed by `(` and ending with `)`. Inbetween the left and right
+parentheses go the function arguments.  If a function has zero arguments, you still
+need the parentheses in order to call the function. For example
+
+```typescript
+basic.clearScreen()
+```
+
+It's a syntax error to have a left parenthesis without the "closing" right parenthesis:
+
+```
+basic.clearScreen(

+# Classes
+
+Traditional JavaScript focuses on functions and prototype-based inheritance as the basic means of building up reusable components, 
+but this may feel a bit awkward to programmers more comfortable with an object-oriented approach, where classes inherit functionality 
+and objects are built from these classes.
+
+Starting with ECMAScript 2015, also known as ECMAScript 6, JavaScript programmers will be able to build their applications using 
+this object-oriented class-based approach. TypeScript, allows you to use these techniques now, compiling them 
+down to JavaScript that works across all major browsers and platforms, without having to wait for the next version of JavaScript.
+
+Let's take a look at a simple class-based example:
+
+```ts
+class Greeter {
+    greeting: string;
+    constructor(message: string) {
+        this.greeting = message;
+    }
+    greet() {
+        return "Hello, " + this.greeting;
+    }
+}
+
+let greeter = new Greeter("world");
+```
+
+We declare a new class `Greeter`. This class has three members: a property called `greeting`, a constructor, and a method `greet`.
+
+You'll notice that in the class when we refer to one of the members of the class we prepend `this.`.
+This denotes that it's a member access.
+
+In the last line we construct an instance of the `Greeter` class using `new`.
+This calls into the constructor we defined earlier, creating a new object with the `Greeter` shape, and running the constructor to initialize it.
+
+# Inheritance
+
+### ~hint
+### Inheritance is not supported yet for the micro:bit. Coming soon...
+### ~
+
+In TypeScript, we can use common object-oriented patterns.
+Of course, one of the most fundamental patterns in class-based programming is being able to extend existing classes to create new ones using inheritance.
+
+Let's take a look at an example:
+
+```ts-ignore
+class Animal {
+    name: string;
+    constructor(theName: string) { this.name = theName; }
+    move(distanceInMeters: number = 0) {
+        console.log(`${this.name} moved ${distanceInMeters}m.`);
+    }
+}
+
+class Snake extends Animal {
+    constructor(name: string) { super(name); }
+    move(distanceInMeters = 5) {
+        console.log("Slithering...");
+        super.move(distanceInMeters);
+    }
+}
+
+class Horse extends Animal {
+    constructor(name: string) { super(name); }
+    move(distanceInMeters = 45) {
+        console.log("Galloping...");
+        super.move(distanceInMeters);
+    }
+}
+
+let sam = new Snake("Sammy the Python");
+let tom: Animal = new Horse("Tommy the Palomino");
+
+sam.move();
+tom.move(34);
+```
+
+This example covers quite a few of the inheritance features in TypeScript that are common to other languages.
+Here we see the `extends` keywords used to create a subclass. 
+You can see this where `Horse` and `Snake` subclass the base class `Animal` and gain access to its features.
+
+Derived classes that contain constructor functions must call `super()` which will execute the constructor function on the base class.
+
+The example also shows how to override methods in the base class with methods that are specialized for the subclass.
+Here both `Snake` and `Horse` create a `move` method that overrides the `move` from `Animal`, giving it functionality specific to each class.
+Note that even though `tom` is declared as an `Animal`, since its value is a `Horse`, when `tom.move(34)` calls the overriding method in `Horse`:
+
+```Text
+Slithering...
+Sammy the Python moved 5m.
+Galloping...
+Tommy the Palomino moved 34m.
+```
+
+# Public, private, and protected modifiers
+
+## Public by default
+
+In our examples, we've been able to freely access the members that we declared throughout our programs.
+If you're familiar with classes in other languages, you may have noticed in the above examples 
+we haven't had to use the word `public` to accomplish this; for instance, 
+C# requires that each member be explicitly labeled `public` to be visible.
+In TypeScript, each member is `public` by default.
+
+You may still mark a member `public` explicitly.
+We could have written the `Animal` class from the previous section in the following way:
+
+```ts-ignore
+class Animal {
+    public name: string;
+    public constructor(theName: string) { this.name = theName; }
+    public move(distanceInMeters: number) {
+        console.log(`${this.name} moved ${distanceInMeters}m.`);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Understanding `private`
+
+When a member is marked `private`, it cannot be accessed from outside of its containing class. For example:
+
+```ts-ignore
+class Animal {
+    private name: string;
+    constructor(theName: string) { this.name = theName; }
+}
+
+new Animal("Cat").name; // Error: 'name' is private;
+```
+
+TypeScript is a structural type system.
+When we compare two different types, regardless of where they came from, if the types of all members are compatible, then we say the types themselves are compatible.
+
+However, when comparing types that have `private` and `protected` members, we treat these types differently.
+For two types to be considered compatible, if one of them has a `private` member, 
+then the other must have a `private` member that originated in the same declaration.
+The same applies to `protected` members.
+
+Let's look at an example to better see how this plays out in practice:
+
+```ts-ignore
+class Animal {
+    private name: string;
+    constructor(theName: string) { this.name = theName; }
+}
+
+class Rhino extends Animal {
+    constructor() { super("Rhino"); }
+}
+
+class Employee {
+    private name: string;
+    constructor(theName: string) { this.name = theName; }
+}
+
+let animal = new Animal("Goat");
+let rhino = new Rhino();
+let employee = new Employee("Bob");
+
+animal = rhino;
+animal = employee; // Error: 'Animal' and 'Employee' are not compatible
+```
+
+In this example, we have an `Animal` and a `Rhino`, with `Rhino` being a subclass of `Animal`.
+We also have a new class `Employee` that looks identical to `Animal` in terms of shape.
+We create some instances of these classes and then try to assign them to each other to see what will happen.
+Because `Animal` and `Rhino` share the `private` side of their shape from the same declaration of 
+`private name: string` in `Animal`, they are compatible. However, this is not the case for `Employee`.
+When we try to assign from an `Employee` to `Animal` we get an error that these types are not compatible.
+Even though `Employee` also has a `private` member called `name`, it's not the one we declared in `Animal`.
+
+## Understanding `protected`
+
+The `protected` modifier acts much like the `private` modifier with the exception that members 
+declared `protected` can also be accessed by instances of deriving classes. For example,
+
+```ts-ignore
+class Person {
+    protected name: string;
+    constructor(name: string) { this.name = name; }
+}
+
+class Employee extends Person {
+    private department: string;
+
+    constructor(name: string, department: string) {
+        super(name);
+        this.department = department;
+    }
+
+    public getElevatorPitch() {
+        return `Hello, my name is ${this.name} and I work in ${this.department}.`;
+    }
+}
+
+let howard = new Employee("Howard", "Sales");
+console.log(howard.getElevatorPitch());
+console.log(howard.name); // error
+```
+
+Notice that while we can't use `name` from outside of `Person`, 
+we can still use it from within an instance method of `Employee` because `Employee` derives from `Person`.
+
+A constructor may also be marked `protected`.
+This means that the class cannot be instantiated outside of its containing class, but can be extended. For example,
+
+```ts-ignore
+class Person {
+    protected name: string;
+    protected constructor(theName: string) { this.name = theName; }
+}
+
+// Employee can extend Person
+class Employee extends Person {
+    private department: string;
+
+    constructor(name: string, department: string) {
+        super(name);
+        this.department = department;
+    }
+
+    public getElevatorPitch() {
+        return `Hello, my name is ${this.name} and I work in ${this.department}.`;
+    }
+}
+
+let howard = new Employee("Howard", "Sales");
+let john = new Person("John"); // Error: The 'Person' constructor is protected
+```
+
+# Readonly modifier
+
+You can make properties readonly by using the `readonly` keyword.
+Readonly properties must be initialized at their declaration or in the constructor.
+
+```ts-ignore
+class Octopus {
+    readonly name: string;
+    readonly numberOfLegs: number = 8;
+    constructor (theName: string) {
+        this.name = theName;
+    }
+}
+let dad = new Octopus("Man with the 8 strong legs");
+dad.name = "Man with the 3-piece suit"; // error! name is readonly.
+```
+
+## Parameter properties
+
+In our last example, we had to declare a readonly member `name` and a constructor parameter `theName` in the `Octopus` class, and we then immediately set `name` to `theName`.
+This turns out to be a very common practice.
+*Parameter properties* let you create and initialize a member in one place.
+Here's a further revision of the previous `Octopus` class using a parameter property:
+
+```ts-ignore
+class Octopus {
+    readonly numberOfLegs: number = 8;
+    constructor(readonly name: string) {
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Notice how we dropped `theName` altogether and just use the shortened `readonly name: string` parameter on the constructor to create and initialize the `name` member.
+We've consolidated the declarations and assignment into one location.
+
+Parameter properties are declared by prefixing a constructor parameter with an accessibility modifier or `readonly`, or both.
+Using `private` for a parameter property declares and initializes a private member; likewise, the same is done for `public`, `protected`, and `readonly`.

+# Functions
+
+Functions are the fundamental building block of programs. Here is the simplest
+way to make a function that adds two numbers:
+
+```ts
+// Named function
+function add(x : number, y : number) {
+    return x + y;
+}
+
+basic.showNumber(add(1, 2))
+```
+
+### ~ hint
+For the micro:bit, you must specify a [type](/js/types) for each function parameter. 
+### ~ 
+
+Functions can refer to variables outside of the function body.
+When they do so, they're said to `capture` these variables.
+
+```ts
+let z = 100;
+
+function addToZ(x: number, y: number) {
+    return x + y + z;
+}
+
+basic.showNumber(addToZ(1, 2))
+```
+
+## Typing the function
+
+Let's add a return type to our add function:
+
+```ts
+function add(x: number, y: number): number {
+    return x + y;
+}
+```
+
+TypeScript can figure the return type out by looking at the return statements, so you can optionally leave this off in many cases.
+
+# Optional and Default Parameters
+
+In TypeScript, the number of arguments given to a function has to match the number of parameters the function expects.
+
+```ts-ignore
+function buildName(firstName: string, lastName: string) {
+    return firstName + " " + lastName;
+}
+
+let result1 = buildName("Bob");                  // error, too few parameters
+let result2 = buildName("Bob", "Adams", "Sr.");  // error, too many parameters
+let result3 = buildName("Bob", "Adams");         // ah, just right
+```
+
+In JavaScript, every parameter is optional, and users may leave them off as they see fit.
+When they do, their value is `undefined`.
+We can get this functionality in TypeScript by adding a `?` to the end of parameters we want to be optional.
+For example, let's say we want the last name parameter from above to be optional:
+
+```ts-ignore
+function buildName(firstName: string, lastName?: string) {
+    if (lastName)
+        return firstName + " " + lastName;
+    else
+        return firstName;
+}
+
+let result1 = buildName("Bob");                  // works correctly now
+let result2 = buildName("Bob", "Adams", "Sr.");  // error, too many parameters
+let result3 = buildName("Bob", "Adams");         // ah, just right
+```
+
+Any optional parameters must follow required parameters.
+Had we wanted to make the first name optional rather than the last name, we would need to change the order of parameters in the function, putting the first name last in the list.
+
+In TypeScript, we can also set a value that a parameter will be assigned if the user does not provide one, or if the user passes `undefined` in its place.
+These are called default-initialized parameters.
+Let's take the previous example and default the last name to `"Smith"`.
+
+```ts-ignore
+function buildName(firstName: string, lastName = "Smith") {
+    return firstName + " " + lastName;
+}
+
+let result1 = buildName("Bob");                  // works correctly now, returns "Bob Smith"
+let result2 = buildName("Bob", undefined);       // still works, also returns "Bob Smith"
+let result3 = buildName("Bob", "Adams", "Sr.");  // error, too many parameters
+let result4 = buildName("Bob", "Adams");         // ah, just right
+```
+
+Default-initialized parameters that come after all required parameters are treated as optional, and just like optional parameters, can be omitted when calling their respective function.
+This means optional parameters and trailing default parameters will share commonality in their types, so both
+
+```ts
+function buildName(firstName: string, lastName?: string) {
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+and
+
+```ts
+function buildName(firstName: string, lastName = "Smith") {
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+share the same type `(firstName: string, lastName?: string) => string`.
+The default value of `lastName` disappears in the type, only leaving behind the fact that the parameter is optional.
+
+Unlike plain optional parameters, default-initialized parameters don't *need* to occur after required parameters.
+If a default-initialized parameter comes before a required parameter, users need to explicitly pass `undefined` to get the default initialized value.
+For example, we could write our last example with only a default initializer on `firstName`:
+
+```ts-ignore
+function buildName(firstName = "Will", lastName: string) {
+    return firstName + " " + lastName;
+}
+
+let result1 = buildName("Bob");                  // error, too few parameters
+let result2 = buildName("Bob", "Adams", "Sr.");  // error, too many parameters
+let result3 = buildName("Bob", "Adams");         // okay and returns "Bob Adams"
+let result4 = buildName(undefined, "Adams");     // okay and returns "Will Adams"
+```
+
+# Rest Parameters
+
+Required, optional, and default parameters all have one thing in common: they talk about one parameter at a time.
+Sometimes, you want to work with multiple parameters as a group, or you may not know how many parameters a function will ultimately take.
+In JavaScript, you can work with the arguments directly using the `arguments` variable that is visible inside every function body.
+
+In TypeScript, you can gather these arguments together into a variable:
+
+```ts-ignore
+function buildName(firstName: string, ...restOfName: string[]) {
+    return firstName + " " + restOfName.join(" ");
+}
+
+let employeeName = buildName("Joseph", "Samuel", "Lucas", "MacKinzie");
+```
+
+*Rest parameters* are treated as a boundless number of optional parameters.
+When passing arguments for a rest parameter, you can use as many as you want; you can even pass none.
+The compiler will build an array of the arguments passed in with the name given after the ellipsis (`...`), allowing you to use it in your function.
+
+The ellipsis is also used in the type of the function with rest parameters:
+
+```ts-ignore
+function buildName(firstName: string, ...restOfName: string[]) {
+    return firstName + " " + restOfName.join(" ");
+}
+
+let buildNameFun: (fname: string, ...rest: string[]) => string = buildName;
+```

+# Types
+
+For programs to be useful, we need to be able to work with some of the simplest units of data: 
+numbers, strings, structures, boolean values, and the like.
+
+# Boolean
+
+The most basic datatype is the simple true/false value, which is called a `boolean` value.
+
+```ts
+let isDone: boolean = false;
+```
+
+# Number
+
+### ~ hint 
+In JavaScript, `numbers` are floating point values.
+However, for the micro:bit, `numbers` are integer values.
+### ~
+
+Integer values can be specified via decimal, hexadecimal and octal notation:
+
+```ts
+let decimal: number = 42;
+let hex: number = 0xf00d;
+let binary: number = 0b1010;
+let octal: number = 0o744;
+```
+
+# String
+
+As in other languages, we use the type `string` to refer to textual data.
+Use double quotes (`"`) or single quotes (`'`) to surround string data.
+
+```ts
+let color: string = "blue";
+color = 'red';
+```
+
+You can also use *template strings*, which can span multiple lines and have embedded expressions.
+These strings are surrounded by the backtick/backquote (`` ` ``) character, and embedded expressions are of the form `${ expr }`.
+
+```ts
+let fullName: string = `Bob Bobbington`;
+let age: number = 37;
+let sentence: string = `Hello, my name is ${ fullName }.
+
+I'll be ${ age + 1 } years old next month.`
+```
+
+This is equivalent to declaring `sentence` like so:
+
+```ts
+let sentence: string = "Hello, my name is " + fullName + ".\n\n" +
+    "I'll be " + (age + 1) + " years old next month."
+```
+
+# Array
+
+Arrays allow you to work with an expandable sequence of values, addressed by an integer-valued index.
+Array types can be written in one of two ways.
+In the first, you use the type of the elements followed by `[]` to denote an array of that element type:
+
+```ts
+let list: number[] = [1, 2, 3];
+```
+
+The second way uses a generic array type, `Array<elemType>`:
+
+```ts
+let list: Array<number> = [1, 2, 3];
+```
+
+### ~hint
+For the micro:bit, all elements of an array must have the same type.
+### ~
+
+
+# Enum
+
+A helpful addition to the standard set of datatypes from JavaScript is the `enum`.
+As in languages like C#, an enum is a way of giving more friendly names to sets of numeric values.
+
+```ts
+enum Color {Red, Green, Blue};
+let c: Color = Color.Green;
+```
+
+By default, enums begin numbering their members starting at `0`.
+You can change this by manually setting the value of one of its members.
+For example, we can start the previous example at `1` instead of `0`:
+
+```ts
+enum Color {Red = 1, Green, Blue};
+let c: Color = Color.Green;
+```
+
+Or, even manually set all the values in the enum:
+
+```ts
+enum Color {Red = 1, Green = 2, Blue = 4};
+let c: Color = Color.Green;
+```
+
+# Any
+
+The TypeScript type `any` is not supported in the micro:bit.
+
+
+# Void
+
+`void` is the absence of having any type at all.
+You may commonly see this as the return type of functions that do not return a value:
+
+```ts
+function warnUser(): void {
+    basic.showString("This is my warning message");
+}
+```
+
+Declaring variables of type `void` is not useful.
+
+# Type Inference
+
+In TypeScript, there are several places where type inference is used to provide type information when there is
+no explicit type annotation. For example, in this code
+
+```ts
+let x = 3;
+let y = x + 3
+```
+
+The type of the `x` variable is inferred to be `number`. Similarly, the type of `y` variable also is inferred to be `number`.
+This kind of inference takes place when initializing variables and members, 
+setting parameter default values, and determining function return types.

+# Variable Declarations
+
+Declaring a variable in JavaScript has always traditionally been done with the `var` keyword.
+
+```typescript
+var a = 10;
+```
+
+The `var` construct has some [problems](http://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/variable-declarations.html), 
+which is why `let` statements were introduced. Apart from the keyword used, `let` statements are written 
+the same way `var` statements are.
+
+```typescript
+let a = 10;
+```
+
+The key difference is not in the syntax, but in the semantics, which we'll now dive into.
+
+## Block-scoping
+
+When a variable is declared using `let`, it uses what some call *lexical-scoping* or *block-scoping*.
+Unlike variables declared with `var` whose scopes leak out to their containing function, 
+block-scoped variables are not visible outside of their nearest containing block or `for`-loop.
+
+```typescript
+function f(input: boolean) {
+    let a = 100;
+
+    if (input) {
+        // Still okay to reference 'a'
+        let b = a + 1;
+        return b;
+    }
+
+    // Error: 'b' doesn't exist here
+    return b;
+}
+```
+
+Here, we have two local variables `a` and `b`.
+`a`'s scope is limited to the body of `f` while `b`'s scope is limited to the containing `if` statement's block.
+
+Another property of block-scoped variables is that they can't be read or written to before they're actually declared.
+While these variables are "present" throughout their scope, all points up until their declaration are part of their *temporal dead zone*.
+This is just a sophisticated way of saying you can't access them before the `let` statement, and luckily TypeScript will let you know that.
+
+```typescript-ignore
+a++; // illegal to use 'a' before it's declared;
+let a;
+```
+
+## Re-declarations
+
+With `var` declarations, it doesn't matter how many times you declare your variables, you just get one:
+
+```typescript
+var x = 10;
+var x = 20; 
+```
+
+In the above example, all declarations of `x` actually refer to the *same* `x`, and this is perfectly valid.
+This often ends up being a source of bugs. Thankfully, `let` declarations are not as forgiving.
+
+```typescript
+let x = 10;
+let x = 20; // error: can't re-declare 'x' in the same scope
+```
+
+## Shadowing
+
+The act of introducing a new name in a more deeply nested scope is called *shadowing*.
+It is a bit of a double-edged sword in that it can introduce certain bugs on its own in the 
+event of accidental shadowing, while also preventing certain bugs.
+For instance, imagine a `sumMatrix` function using `let` variables.
+
+```typescript
+function sumMatrix(matrix: number[][]) {
+    let sum = 0;
+    for (let i = 0; i < matrix.length; i++) {
+        var currentRow = matrix[i];
+        for (let i = 0; i < currentRow.length; i++) {
+            sum += currentRow[i];
+        }
+    }
+
+    return sum;
+}
+```
+
+This version of the loop will actually perform the summation correctly because the inner loop's `i` shadows `i` from the outer loop.
+Shadowing should *usually* be avoided in the interest of write clearer code, such as
+
+```typescript
+function sumMatrix(matrix: number[][]) {
+    let sum = 0;
+    for (let i = 0; i < matrix.length; i++) {
+        var currentRow = matrix[i];
+        for (let j = 0; j < currentRow.length; j++) {
+            sum += currentRow[j];
+        }
+    }
+
+    return sum;
+}
+```
+While there are some scenarios where it may be fitting to take advantage of it, you should use your best judgement.
+
+# `const` declarations
+
+`const` declarations are another way of declaring variables.
+
+```typescript
+const numLivesForCat = 9;
+```
+
+They are like `let` declarations but, as their name implies, their value cannot be changed once they are bound.
+In other words, they have the same scoping rules as `let`, but you can't re-assign to them.

+# About Bluetooth
+
+![](/static/bluetooth/Bluetooth_SIG.png)
+
+## Introduction
+
+Bluetooth is a wireless communications technology which allows devices to communicate with each other without the need for a central device like a router or access point.
+
+Bluetooth has a special "low energy feature" which means it can be used without requiring much power from the devices using it. It's the Bluetooth low energy feature which the micro:bit uses.
+
+In the world of Bluetooth low energy, a device has something called a "profile" which defines the way other devices are able to communicate over Bluetooth with it. In a way, the Bluetooth profile defines the way a device appears to other devices in terms of its features and the things it can do.
+
+To put it another way, a Bluetooth profile is really an interface specification. It defines the data which a device has, what another device can do with that data over a Bluetooth connection and how the device with the profile should respond when a connected device acts upon its data in some way. Let's look at that description in a little more technical detail.
+
+## Basic Concepts
+
+A Bluetooth device contains a table of data called an Attribute Table which can be accessed by other connected devices in various possible ways. That table of data and the ways in which it can be exploited falls into a technical area of Bluetooth called the Generic Attribute profile or "GATT" for short and you may see the term GATT in some of the documentation for APIs such as those provided by the Android platform.
+
+The Attribute Table contains something like a series of records of various types. The main types are called Services, Characteristics and Descriptors. Let's look at each of these terms in turn.
+
+### Attributes
+
+Services, Characteristics and Descriptors are all types of Attribute. Hence Generic Attribute Profile, Attribute Table and something called the Attribute Protocol. All attributes have a type which is identified by a UUID (Universally Unique Identifer). Some Attributes are defined by the Bluetooth SIG, the technical standards body for Bluetooth and these have UUIDs which are 16 bits in length. Some Attributes are custom designed for a particular device by the product team and these have 128 bit UUIDs. The micro:bit uses a mixture of 16 bit and 128 bit UUIDs.
+
+### Structure
+
+Services, Characteristics and Descriptors are organised in a hierarchy with Services at the top and Descriptors at the bottom. Services contain one or more Characteristics. A Characteristic owns zero or more Descriptors. Zero because Descriptors are completely optional whereas a Service must contain at least one Characteristic.
+
+![](/static/bluetooth/gatt_hierarchy.png)
+  
+### Services
+
+A Service is a container for logically related Bluetooth data items. Those data items are in fact called Characteristics. A Service can be thought of as the owner of the Characteristics inside it. Often a Service represents a particular feature (e.g. a hardware feature) of a device like the buttons or a particular sensor. An example of a Bluetooth SIG defined Service is the Device Information Service which, as the name suggests, is a container for various items of information about the device such as its manufacturer and serial number. The micro:bit has this service.
+
+### Characteristics
+
+Characteristics are items of data which relate to a particular internal state of the device or perhaps some state of the environment which the device can measure using a sensor. The current battery level is an example of internal state data whereas the ambient temperature could perhaps be measured by a sensor. Sometimes Characteristics represent configuration data such as the frequency at which you want something to be measured. In any of these cases, the way a device can expose such data to other devices to use via Bluetooth is by making them available as a Characteristic. An example of a Bluetooth SIG defined Characteristic is the Serial Number String which you'll find inside the Device Information service.
+
+Characteristics contain various parts. They have a type, a value, some properties and some permissions.
+
+Type is something already explained above, a UUID value which indicates which particular type of Characteristic an Attribute is. Value is the value of the associated state data item.
+
+Properties define what another device can do with the characteristic over Bluetooth in terms of various defined operations such as READ, WRITE or NOTIFY. Reading a characteristic means transferring its current value from the attribute table to the connected device over Bluetooth. Writing allows the connected device to change that value in the state table. Notifications are a special message type which a device like the micro:bit can send to a connected device whenever the value of the associated characteristic changes or perhaps periodically, controlled by a timer. Not all Characteristics support all operations. The Characteristic's properties tell you which operations are supported.
+
+Sometimes the device will have been programmed to respond in a special way when it processes an operation like reading or writing a value from the attribute table so operations can result in more happening than simply transferring data across the connection. Perhaps changing the value of a Characteristic will result in the device changing the frequency with which it samples readings from the device accelerometer for example.
+
+Permissions are to do with security and further describe the security conditions that must be met before read or write access to the characteristic is to be granted.
+
+### Descriptors
+
+Descriptors contain meta data which either augments the details relating to the Characteristic which the Descriptor belongs to or allows the configuration of a behaviour involving that Characteristic. Notification messages are switched on or off using a special descriptor called the Client Characteristic Configuration Descriptor for example.
+
+### Profile
+
+A Bluetooth profile is a specification which pulls together all the required information about how a device behaves, how it can be accessed in terms of its services, characteristics and descriptors, security rules, concurrency limitations and so on.
+
+## Client Server Architecture
+
+When a smartphone application interacts with a device like the micro:bit over a Bluetooth connection we have a client/server architecture. The phone application is usually the GATT client and the micro:bit is usually the GATT server. They communicate using a protocol called the Attribute Protocol or just ATT for short. As a smartphone developer you work with APIs and do not have to worry about formulating ATT protocol data units and so on.
+
+![](/static/bluetooth/services_and_GATT.png)
+
+## Device Discovery
+
+Everything described above relates to devices which are connected and communicating as GATT client and server. But there's a stage which precedes this where the two devices are not yet connected. How do they find each other and connect? The answer to this question is termed 'Device Discovery' and is the responsibility of another part of the Bluetooth architecture called the Generic Access Profile (GAP).
+
+In GAP, one devices advertises, emitting small packets of data periodically. These packets contain information about the device doing the advertising. Other devices looking for devices to connect to perform something called scanning, receiving and processing advertising packets and filtering out those that come from devices of a type that are not of interest. Usually the user is given information about devices which are discovered and they then select one to be connected to. The device which advertises is called a Bluetooth Peripheral whereas the one doing the scanning is a Bluetooth Central device. micro:bit is a Bluetooth peripheral.
+
+Bluetooth on the BBC micro:bit
+
+Full documentation for the BBC micro:bit Bluetooth profile as used by this application can be found at the [Lancaster University documentation](http://lancaster-university.github.io/microbit-docs/ble/profile/) web site.
+
+The micro:bit's accelerometer (motion detector), magnetometer (digital compass), two buttons on the front, LED Display, IO pins on the edge connector, internal message bus and internal temperature sensor are all exposed as Services so that applications can exploit these features of the device. In addition: 
+
+* the Bluetooth SIG defined Device Information Service is included to allow applications to obtain information such as firmware version details over Bluetooth
+* there's a Device Firmware Update (DFU) service which allows new micro:bit code to be flahsed to the device over Bluetooth instead of over USB
+* there's a UART service which allows arbitrary data to be exchanged with the micro:bit in a way resembling traditional serial communications.
+
+Everything you can do with the micro:bit over Bluetooth is achieved through read, write and notify operations. Not all characteristics support all three so check the profile documentation. Often there are Characteristics whose purpose is to allow you to write configuration values which control other behviours. Technically these are called Control Points. For example you can specify the frequency with which accelerometer data is sampled before it is transmitted as a Notification message to your application.
+
+## Want to Know More?
+
+The Bluetooth SIG web site at http://www.bluetooth.com is a good place for further information about Bluetooth in general. You'll find all the SIG defined profiles, services, characteristics and descriptors there as well as the core specification for all Bluetooth technology.
+
+That's it! Enjoy using Bluetooth on the BBC micro:bit!
