Esp32-cam and bluetooth

Hi, I want to connect to esp32-cam via Bluetooth. I use the app inventor program. Can anyone guide?

Google "esp32-cam + Bluetooth" is one possibility.

And by 'connect' what are you trying to do ?

Arduino IDE install esp32 support - see installing-the-esp32-board-in-arduino-ide-windows-instructions
run the Arduino IDE and under Tools>Board select ESP32>AI Thinker ESP32-CAM

then
under file>Examples>BlueToothSerial you will find Bluetooth Classic example programs
under File>Examples>BLE for BLE example programs

Lot's of examples for the esp32cam board, here is a couple screen grabs.


Witch one should I select?. I use app inventor for android app.

I want to control a robot

There is no thing about it

Bluetooth Classic is the simplest to use
using SerialTiSerialBT the robot could receive serial messages from the Android phone
you could initially test it with a Android Bluetooth Serial app by typing commands to be sent to the robot, e.g. you send "turn right" the robot receives it as string and checks what the command is
you can then implement an app to send commands in response to pressing a button on the screen, etc

I get 3 suggestions from Google.

Do you know how to design the blocks in app inventor?
And should I add my smartphone name instead of device name?

 Serial.printf("The device with name \"%s\" is started.\nNow you can pair it with Bluetooth!\n", device_name.c_str());

Can you add the links here?

cannot assist here - I have experimented with App Inventor but for serious work use Android Studio
try the App Inventor forum
