To enable Bluetooth® communication on the Portenta Machine Control, you can use the [ArduinoBLE library](https://github.com/arduino-libraries/ArduinoBLE). Let's use an example code demonstrating some of the capabilities of Poternta's Machine Control Bluetooth® module. Here is an example of how to use the `ArduinoBLE` library to create a temperature monitor application:
