hello im wondering what options do i have to use to connect my HC-05 to an IOS device. or can i somehow connect to a computer? ive tried emulating an andrioid but it didnt work. ive also tried finding the hc-05 on my computers list of bluetooths and i can find it but not connect to it. my friend has an android and he could connect to it so i know it works otherwise. but what options do i have so i can try it withous using my friends phone?
The internet seems to say, "Can't happen."
You will need a BLE device with newer-than IOS4. (search Arduino BLE)
The discussion on this link, below, describes the sentence, above, and has links to "the reason why"... and many tangents about things you have not asked.
i see thank you but one of my problems is its a school project and we dont have accsess to the BLE
For you to figure out with your school. (talk to your computer/electronics instructor)
You can connect to a computer, depending on the Bluetooth hardware that the computer has.
This guy seems to have a good "where to start" tip.
You have two options:
- Change receivers. Windows, MacOS, or Android are all OK with HC-05.
- Change schools.
The latter could be the better long term option.
Yes. I have connected an HC05 with a Windows computer with built in Bluetooth. Does your computer have Bluetooth or will you need to use a Dongle.?
what options do i have so i can try it withous using my friends phone?
What is the cheapest Android burner phone you can buy? You don't need phone service to use Bluetooth and a terminal app on the phone.
i have bluetooth on my computer but when i try to connect to the hc05 it cant do it...
Which operating system?
Does your computer bluetooth "see" the HC05?
