Hello, I am quite new to the arduino but I have gotten a few examples of some projects provided by the community to work.
I am working on a simple clicker project using the arduino R3 with a force sensor to create a sound through a speaker, so far so good, lots of good examples.
I was wondering if the hardware exist to send the sensor signal to the arduino via blue tooth or wifi so that the sensor has no wires to the arduino? Of course if the device is as big as the arduino then there is no point.
Yes, that's exactly my question, being new to this I don't necessarily know the right questions to ask. Maybe the solution is a blue tooth enabled pressure sensor if that exists. Maybe the solution is a small arduino that is blue tooth enabled. I want to wear the pressure sensors on a glove, that's the reason it has to be small.
I am not sure what the comment by Woodstock means, is he a moderator?
Jacobi:
the sensor does not have blue tooth capability, it's just a simple pressure sensitive resistor.
Clearly, you need either a sensor with bluetooth capability, or make the one you have bluetooth capable. As I understand the data is a simple on/off signal, you may be able to do the latter by just adding bluetooth, i.e. no Arduino, to interpret the sensor, and perhaps no Arduino at the receiving end either.
You may be able to accomplish this by simply controlling the power to bluetooth, and hence the state of the auto-connect. There may also be other methods, by using the i/o pins on the bluetooth module. I believe there is better information, and thus better chances, with the HM-10 bluetooth, rather than HC-05
