+# Bluetooth LE
+
+The gobot-ble adaptor makes it easy to interact with Bluetooth LE using Go.
+
+It is written using the [gatt](https://github.com/paypal/gatt) package from [Paypal](https://github.com/paypal). Thank you!
+
+Learn more about Bluetooth LE [here](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_low_energy).
