Greetings,
Let me introduce the project I am working on, and see if someone can help with it. I recently built a droid from the disney starwars droid builders. I love the little thing, but from day one I decided I wanted to make it a little more. I have already started working on the code to roam around the house on its own. That part is not the problem. The problem I am running into is....HOW do I make a bluetoooth module connect to the bluetooth on the droid? I want to the unmodified droid to be controlled by a bluetooth arduino controller.
I have an object detection sensor, the code is ready except for the bluetooth part. I see a whole lot of post about using your phone to control a bluetooth arduino, but I want the arduino to basically ride inside my bb robot and send random commands to go forward backward, blink led, etc. All this can be done using the provided remote, or through a bluetooth app.
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
You're giving too little relevant info.
For starters, what controls the bot? Is it an Arduino, a RPi? What model? What firmware? Is it a custom controller they made specifically for this? If so, how does it interfaces with other devices?
Another one is that whether that bot already has bluetooth installed. If so, what does the bluetooth do? Is it to connect to a proprietary app?
Okay, Here we go.
I am using the Arduino Uno.
Okay to be clear the robot is not controlled by arduino or RPi. The droid is a store bought item that is controlled by a bluetooth controller.
The controller is a standard controller for the droid. It uses bluetooth that communicate with the droid so to answer that question, yes it has bluetooth built in. I have the bluetooth signal information through a bluetooth scanner. part of the option with the droid is to control it with a smartphone through bluetooth and an app, if you don't want to use your controller. This offers more options than the stock controller.
