A bit of background. I have a project that controls a LED strip. So far the 15 dancing / static settings work, The input from a microphone to "VU meter" works. The last part that is giving me fits.
I would like to use a Bluetooth module (HM-10 BLE) to receive music ie. YouTube to My Arduino for a VU meter display.
the Rub. on my samsung A35 shows my HM-10 BLE 4.0 Bluetooth Module as
tried the 1 to 0 and it looked like it was attempting to pair and then just gave up. The red led on the module is back to blinking red My phone shows this:
Thanks for the input about the Morisch's Bluetooth terminal app. I loaded the app on my android phone and can connect by BTLE. However being just a terminal app will not send data from music on my phone to my arduino project. I have ordered a DSD TECH HC-06 Wireless Bluetooth Serial Transceiver. Will see what that does for me. I read someplace it does not support iOS.
IOS doesn't support HC-05 is a better way of putting it, and HC-05 is just a simple serial data device anyway. I'm afraid I don't know what you need, but it will be some sort of BLE device. HC-05 is "classic" Bluetooth.
Nick, thank you for the reply. I have tried 3 different HM-10 BLE modules and just plugged in a new original DSD TECH HC-06 Wireless Bluetooth Serial Transceiver. My phone sees it, requests a pass code enter 1234 and bingo it is paired. I have $50 worth of worthless HM-10 BLE modules for sale or trade. Unless you want to build / install an android app that turns on and off a LED. Do NOT consider HM-10 BLEs for an arduino project.
I'm surprised the HC-06 delivered for you, I thought you wanted to receive music. I'm very much in line with your essential philosophy though. HM-10s mostly offer nothing for android users, and are simply not worth the effort. They are really just for people who have inflicted themselves with IOS - and there are better options for them too.
