Bluetoothshield Arduino and Android

2013-08-31


To build a mobile particulate matter pollution monitor, fused an Arduino controlling Shenyi dust sensor with an Android tablet.

Software Alternatives are:

  1. Tried with Amarino library and apps
  2. App Inventor and Arduino with blue tooth shield
  3. Crude code and android app

following links were most useful for error-free slave connection between Android and Arduino with seed studio blue tooth shield.

For seeing the blue tooth serial in Android

Alternative 2: App inventor as given in this link

  1. http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=148853.0

is working based on master blue-tooth communication. Master communication is not established. However, found an app inventor source with the ability to work with slave communication, So now the direction is.
