Is it possible to use arduino on a tablet PC of any type?
Is it possible to use arduino on a tablet PC of any type?
I'd worry about scratching the surface of the tablet PC with the Arduino. The bottom side is kind of rough.
Perhaps you had something different in mind.
You aren't the first person to ask this question.
I don't know what you're trying to do but if you connect a serial bluetooth module like a btm-112 to your arduino you can pair that to an android tablet or phone with bluetooth and send/receive serial data with an app on the android device.
Yes thanks for the reply. In my reading I discovered that that was the only way so far. How far is BT good for?
Use the arduino ethernet sheild and open a socket and listen for data that you can send with any internet connected device including your cell phone... if thats what you had in mind.
How far is BT good for?
For the most part, not as far as you can throw it. If you are one of the lucky ones it works for, the range is typically 10 meters or less.
