Replacement: WRL-10268 . The latest revision of this board breaks out the PIO4 pin and has a minor effect on the PCB size. This page is for reference only.
Normally you would use a serial USB cable connected from your computer to your Wiring board for receiving data sent from a computer running processing to your board. This tutorial demonstrates how to execute this same process, but wirelessly using Bluetooth. We will test this by being able to turn an LED on/off wirelessly.
Note: this is not about the official Arduino Bluetooth board. You can find the official tutorials here: http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardBluetooth PLEASE NOTE: this tutorial was written for Wiring but can easily be translated to arduino, just remember the rx and tx pins in arduino are 0 and 1 respectively.
I wanted to make it possible to control an arduino board from my phone. So that I could control other devices. the easiest way seemed to be using bluetooth .
QkCtrl Serial BT links buttons to pins on your device using a Control Key. When you push a button, the Control Key is sent to your connected device. When your connected device executes the command, it should return the same Control Key. QkCtrl Serial BT listens for the Control Key and sets the status of the buttons accordingly.
Add a programmable Bluetooth remote control to your electronics projects with QkCtrl Serial BT. QkCtrl Serial BT enables you to design custom controls that let you easily communicate with serial devices over Bluetooth. It's simple and takes very little to integrate into your projects. QkCtrl Serial BT was designed with the Arduino microcontroller in mind, using our low cost Bluetooth transceivers, available at http://www.kvndev.com/android/two However, it should work with most projects that support serial communication and most Bluetooth transceivers that support SPP. Check out our sample project at http://www.kvndev.com/android/two to see how you can implement QkCtrl Serial BT into your project.
