Networking & Communications
I initially intended to use bluetooth hm-11 chip and included it in my board, but I unfortunately I didn't have the time to program it using AT commands. So instead I used a ready HC-05 bluetooth module.
The code I wrote for the bluetooth is quite simple, it just checks if any data is received and compares it using a swtich case code.
if (Serial.available()){ // check if data is received
{
char input=Serial.read();
switch (input){
case '1': // stop the servo
pos1=0;
pos2=0;
break;
case '2': // let the servo sweep
pos1=170;
pos2=180;
break;
case'3': // turn off strip
x=0;
y=0;
z=0;
break;
case '4': //light the strip back
x = 80;
y = 0;
z = 125;
break;
case '5': // Make LED strobe slower
intervalLED=30;
break;
case '6':
intervalLED=5; // Make LED strobe faster
break;
case '7':
intervalLED=20; // Make LED strobe medium
break;
}
}
}
The above code is part of the full code available in the input & output section of the final project documentation.
The above video shows the communication with the project through an Android Application called Bluetooth Terminal HC-05.
