Hello,
I currently am using the adafruit motor shield with the arduino uno and have got the code working over serial to control one motor. I was wondering if any one could help me in showing me how to connect up a bluetooth module (if someone could recommend me a good cheap one) with the shield and arduino and how to use it.
Many Thanks
Jamie
You could use a cheapo JY-MCU bluetooth module for this. As far as the Arduino is concerned, just plug it in and go. All the work is at the PC end. You need to establish the pairing and you need a proper terminal programme to communicate. Use a freebie like RealTerm. You don't use the Arduino Serial Monitor and disconnect the USB cable.
Hello,
Thank you for this I will look at getting one. When I do get one how to I connect it to the adafruit motorshield as this blocks the soockets on the arduino board.
Many Thanks
Jamie
You only need four connections - power and A4,A5. You should be able to get these on the motor shield. That shield should also have stackable headers thereby enabling you to plug another shield in that handles the bluetooth board, but I don't think it would be such a good idea to make up an additional shield just for the bluetooth.
