Hello,

Im new to this board and Arduino and Bluetooth. I would like to seek advise regarding the bluetooth Arduino.

Is it possible to program the Bluetooth Ardiuno to act as a BT keyboard and transmit data say to a phone or computer that has Bluetooth.

Thank you for your time I highly appreciate your reply.

Hello

as far as I know it's not possible to program the module on the Arduino BT to act as a keyboard.
It can communicate to a phone or a computer that support Bluetooth serial ports

there are examples online of all of this

All the answers are in the iWrap manual, that is the firmware used in the bluetooth module.
there are links to it in the arduino website under hardware

Hello Massimo,

I'd checked the WT11 BT module attached to Arduino BT. It has HID profile installed, which is what I need for my project.
I would highly appreciate if someone could give me insight.

  1. Re-connect the BT module RX TX to on of the IO pins of Arduino
  • is it possible to cut the connection and re-solder with jumper wires?

  1. Using the serial library to communicate/re-program the WT11 Blugiga chip and utilize the HID profile.

  2. Use FTDI Basic Breakout - 3.3V to link the arduino chip to my computer for sketch upload and monitor/debug arduino

Or can I just simply leave the board as is and be able to upload/communicate with BT and Arduino individually via common RX TX connection?

Please Advise
Thank you :slight_smile:

I take it back, Just found out that its WT12 that has the HID profile and not WT11 now Im lost :cry:
