Arduino <> Raspberry via bluetooth

Projects Interfacing w/ Software on the Computer
1

Hello everybody,

I'm trying for my first project to make a communication between arduino and raspberry pi via bluetooth.
I have a bluetooth dongle plugged into my raspberry; reconized and paired with the arduino (which have the JY-MCU bluetooth module).
When i do the command screen on /dev/rfcomm0 in raspberry, I can see what arduino sends via bluetooth to my raspberry so… good to this point.

• The big question is : can I read same serial port (i.e : rfcomm0) with two differents applications or command at the same time : for example : follow the screen command AND (read/send) from a PHP application of my own in this rfcomm serial port ? (using php_serial_class). At this point no return from PHP app (can't find serial port).
• Another question : how to quit screen command ? (man says ctrl+a) but does not work for me. misunderstood the manual ?
• Another other question : do I have to set 2 differents virual serial port ? One for receiving , one for transmitting

Thanks for answers to my dummy questions !

Did you have an Arduino question?

How do an arduino is making a communication with a computer isn't an arduino question ?

Maybe i'm wrong…

Thanks anyway.

Are you intending to execute these functions on the Arduino? If not, then this is not an Arduino question.

I'm not familiar with the screen command on the Arduino. Do you have a reference? I didn't think so.

Not on the Arduino. Serial communication is bidirectional.
