G+_James Hughes Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ, Bryan Burnett, Ben Reese Recently I've made a few arduino projects (with some awesome help from some of the members here, Thanks Ben) and I want to add bluetooth to them (or possibly wifi). The first is a project controlling stepper motors with an arduino nano, a L293d and a couple of switches (actual project uses a dpdt switch). I would like to add bluetooth so that it could be controlled with a cell phone. The second is a six button keyboard using an arduino pro micro (leonardo) as the hid device. It would be awesome to be able to use this without a usb cable. Adafruit has the bluefruit but it is out of stock and at $20 is a bit expensive for these projects. I've never used a bluetooth or wifi module (which hasn't stopped me from diving into something before) although I have a few ESP8266 transceivers and some NRF24L01 at the ready. I'm looking for is a link to a tutorial, or a recommendation for another board, or suggestions on how to use what I already have (my favorite).

G+_Golden Retriever Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Sounds more like a show to me, ide like to see them invite you on as a guest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Robert Hafer Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 I seem to recall that an episode about Cayenne got bumped. I haven't started using Cayenne yet but I think it lets you use Bluetooth from a smartphone. That and your projects might go together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_James Hughes Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 Would love to be able to use phone to control these without having to spend 20 bucks. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
