ArduinoBlue class
phone(Stream obj) - Constructor pass SoftwareSerial object. Alternatively, you can pass any Serial. For example, on the Arduino Mega you can pass phone(Serial2) instead. Note if you use Serial, you won't be able to use serial communication through USB.
int getButton() - Returns once the ID of the button that was pressed. Returns -1 otherwise.
int getSliderId() - Returns once the slider ID of the slider that was moved. Returns -1 otherwise.
int getSliderVal() - Returns the value of the slider of the slider that was moved.
int getThrottle() - Returns the throttle value of the joystick.
int getSteering() - Returns the steering value of the joystick.
void sendMessage(String text) - Sends the text to the phone as a popup.
String getText() - Returns the text that was sent from the app's text box.
So, I was able to easily send test messages (using BLE) from the Arduino UNO back to the iPhone ArdunioBlue app using the sendMessage() method.
Basically, from all the testing I did so far, I'm quite happy with ArduinoBlue for IOS.
I think next I may combine this BLE app with NB-IoT to send command and control (C2) messages via BLE from my iPhone to a server on the Internet using an NB-IoT network and get C2 status messages and alerts back from the remote server to my iPhone the same way.
I am working on a semi-auto detection idea for Arduino for the Scope project.
It does require a little user intervention but minimal.
It works by just responding to two on screen prompts to unplug and plug Arduino
into a USB port.
There are two versions and both work perfectly well and give... (3 Replies)

HI all...
(Apologies for any typos.)
To add to Neo's Arduino subject matter I have decided to upload this in ".zip" format.

Waiting for more fun Ardunio parts from AliExpress, I decided to test two cheap Chinese Arduino UNO clones.
The Arduino UNO R3 (CH340G) MEGA328P
The Wavgat UNO R3 (CH340G) MEGA328P
Both of these Chinese Ardunio clones sell for about $3 USD, delivered to your door.
The bottom line is... (0 Replies)
Just finished a quick Python script to send the current unix time over to the Arduino from macOS, so in the absence of GPS or some other way to get the unix timestamp (epoch time) to the Arduino, I can get my macOS and Arduino UNO synced to within a second.

This post describes a "work in progress" project I started today. Here is the High Level Overview:
Currently, this project sits on my desk as an Arduino UNO (on the bottom), an NB-IoT Shield (sandwiched in the middle), a Sensor Shield (on top) with a HM-10 BLE Module (in the little... (13 Replies)

bthost
BTHOST(1) BSD General Commands Manual BTHOST(1)NAME
bthost -- look up Bluetooth host names and Protocol Service Multiplexor values
SYNOPSIS
bthost [-bhp] host_or_protocol
DESCRIPTION
The bthost utility looks for information about Bluetooth hosts and Protocol Service Multiplexor (PSM) values. It gets this information from
the /etc/bluetooth/hosts and /etc/bluetooth/protocols files.
In host mode, it simply converts between the host names and Bluetooth addresses. The argument can be either a host name or a Bluetooth
address. The program first attempts to interpret it as a Bluetooth address. If this fails, it will treat it as a host name. A Bluetooth
address consists of six hex bytes separated by a colon, e.g., ``01:02:03:04:05:06''. A host name consists of names separated by dots, e.g.,
``my.cell.phone''.
In protocol mode, it simply converts between the Protocol Service Multiplexor names and assigned numbers. The argument can be either a Pro-
tocol Service Multiplexor name or an assigned number. The program first attempts to interpret it as an assigned number.
The options are as follows:
-b Produce brief output.
-h Display usage message and exit.
-p Activate protocol mode.
The bthost utility will print results to the standard output, and error messages to the standard error. An output can be quite different,
here is an example that demonstrates all of the possibilities:
% bthost localhost
Host localhost has address FF:FF:FF:00:00:00
% bthost ff:ff:ff:00:00:00
Host FF:FF:FF:00:00:00 has name localhost
% bthost -b localhost
FF:FF:FF:00:00:00
% bthost -b ff:ff:ff:00:00:00
localhost
% bthost do.not.exists
do.not.exists: Unknown host
% bthost 0:0:0:0:0:0
00:00:00:00:00:00: Unknown host
% bthost -p sdp
Protocol/Service Multiplexor sdp has number 1
% bthost -p 3
Protocol/Service Multiplexor rfcomm has number 3
% bthost -bp HID-Control
17
% bthost -p foo
foo: Unknown Protocol/Service Multiplexor
FILES
/etc/bluetooth/hosts
/etc/bluetooth/protocols
EXIT STATUS
The bthost utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
