Hi, I'm working on a pretty nifty project, somewhat cash and time intensive. I've been doing hours upon hours of research, so I have a pretty good idea of how this will work and be setup, I just want to run the control interface by you guys.
I have a Duemilanove and a Wiimote and a Droid X and I'm making a very mobile system, so no PC intermediary here. The arduino will be taking some inputs and controlling some relays; I've got that all handled. However, I need the Arduino to communicate some data to the Droid X, and receive some data from it. To do this, I would like a bluetooth interface. I was going to go by this guide or this guide to do use the wiimote as a bluetooth transceiver for the Arduino, allowing the Droid to communicate to the arduino through the wiimote. Since I already have the wiimote, it would keep me from having to buy a xbee shield and bluetooth adapter or one of the doubly expensive bluesmirfs.
There's a note in the bottom of that first link about using certain bluetooth drivers in Windows and I haven't seen anything like this done before, which is a bit disconcerting. So the fundamental question is - can this work? Can it work without having to build my own drivers or similarly advanced tasks?
If it doesn't work, is there a way to connect the Duemilanove to the Droid X over usb? I believe they're both "slaves" on the slave/master criteria, so that would be an issue.
Thanks so much in advance! This community is the reason that Arduinos are so efficacious.
