Bluetooth to Andriod to print text message on screen.

Projects General Guidance
1

Hey all, just wondering how feasible this project would be and how long it would take to code or if there are libraries to help me with it.

What I want is an LCD screen, (already have it, I can draw, sense touch, and do lots of awesome stuff with it already) that reads data from my Andriod and can send some data back to it. For instance here is a list of data I want to be able to read on my screen.

  1. Time and Date
  2. Any incoming text messages displayed scrolling across screen
  3. Temperature outside (I can always use a sensor on the arduino)
  4. Current song playing in pandora and a next or skip button.
  5. Incoming calls with an ignore button.

Essentially I want something like this:

But for quite a bit cheaper and way more fun! I would end up putting this on my bicycle or motorcycle for when I go on long rides, its hard to change songs and I would like to know the information.

Thanks!

What will you have running on the Android device? That's the more difficult side. Sony provides software for the phone that interfaces with the watch. The Arduino side will just send/receive serial data over bluetooth. The watch probably also supports the media player control (AVRCP) and phone control (HFP/HSP/PBA(P)/HID) profiles, that many bluetooth modules used with the Arduino don't support.

dxw00d,

Thanks for the informative reply, I'm not a good programmer to begin with and I have no idea how to program anything for Andriod. I think this project will be pushed aside......for now. Unless anyone wants to help me making a library / app or something of the such.

Thanks,
