hello my name is freddy. What I want to manipulate the keyboard of my computer with two buttons on my android and also using a module bluetooth for this. I want to manipulate the directional keys on the keyboard. but can not find information that can help me. My intention is to do this only using arduino nano and arduino 1..
this link does not help me :

Manipulate how?

Are you planning building a physical device to physically press on the keyboard keys and this physical device would take instructions from Android smartphone app?

all depends on what your wanting to do.. if you want to send direction key commands to a particular application running on the pc you could look at stdin (standard input) redirection.
redirect stdin
with a windows machine you may want to look at micro$oft powershell which should allow you to do pretty much the same sort of thing.

does your application have an api you could access? or are you writing it too?

Hi filk !
thanks for response!

Now I have configured Arduino + bluetooth.
What I'm doing now:

  1. Connect the bluetooth with my android.
  2. I turn on and turn of a LED with 2 buttons from android.

I want to replace step 2 to manipulate the keyboard of my computer with those 2 buttons. I want to manipulate the directional keys.

I want to do something like what they do in this vídeo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5vy6fJHUSA)
