Hello community! I usually have to transfer files between my phone and my computer, usualy photoes or links as text and right i am using gmail and google drive for this task but it ends up taking to much time and i just plug the phone cable into pc. I used bluethoot module for arduino before for testing purposes just sending simple bites for turning led on and of.. but i was wondering if there is any option to send the file, photo to this module hc-05 that is conected to an arduino conected trough serial to the pc and tranfer that data from phone to the computer ?
This can probably be done but cannot possibly be a good idea. All you are doing is trying to re-invent the wheel and I bet you will end up with a square one. Why don't you use a WiFi file transfer app like everybody else does?
If you insist on using Arduino, you will be faced with some PC programming which will surely be beyond your abilities. Arduino can talk to data analysis programmes or terminals just fine, but then what?
Arduino is probably redundant anyway as I bet you could use a bluetooth file transfer app, with HC-05 talking direct to PC via a USB<>TTL adapter, but the same question applies.
Thanks for answer, which app for android do you recommend ?
It's called WiFi file transfer. There are probably about six with the same name. There is also one built into File Commander.
Hi Alex.
I transfer files b/w my Android phone (Samsung J1 mini) and my Windows 10 PC by the inbuilt Bluetooth facility on each.
With my Linux RaspberryPi I do it via an SD card.
