For my project, I need to light up a light using a button however I would like to do this through Bluetooth as I'm trying to have as little wires as possible and the button would be a couple feet from the lights. Would this be hard to do and code? I have little knowledge but a month to learn it. Thanks for you're help!!!!
If you want to use an Arduino, I believe you need:
On the light's side:
- Arduino nano (for example)
- HC-05 or HC-06 Bluetooth module
- a relay
Assuming you want to control this using your Android smartphone, on that side you need an app such as Serial Bluetooth Terminal or Bluetooth Electronics
The circuit is pretty simple (this one uses an Arduino Uno, but it's equivalent), you'll find many tutorials on the Internet :
If you want to use WiFi, you can find relay modules equipped with an ESP8266 that can connect to your wifi network, host a web server and be controlled via a web page (it would be a software button)
Thanks so much for the reply!!!!!!!
That cleared some things up but is it possible to do it without a phone just using two chips(master and slave), is that a feasible solution?
