Okay so I am creating a sort of quiz game - I will have three buttons(switches)
I want it to connect to an IOS device(iPad, iPhone, etc) and computers as well(PC & OSX) over bluetooth
I've got a bit of experience in JAVA creating GUI's but have no experience creating apps - of course I can and will learn
I would like to use an arduino to control the I/O - the whole point of the app is to tell the game runner who pressed the button first
So if person 2 pressed the button first I want the app to be able to display a message conveying that and then have a reset button and then wait for another signal
In concept it doesn't seem that hard but I have no idea where to start
Here are some MAJOR questions that I have at this point:
What do I use that is compatible with arduino for communicating to an IOS device and/or computer over bluetooth?
How do I program it on the arduino?
How do I make the computer/IOS program respond to a bluetooth signal?
The app DOES NOT need to communicate back to the arduino - just display a different message for three different signals(hard) and reset itself(easy)
Hopefully you experts can answer some of my questions - because I would like to get this done in about a month if I can.
Thanks!
