Summary of Arduino Bluetooth Basic Tutorial


This article provides a basic tutorial on interfacing an Arduino with a Bluetooth module to control electronic devices via a smartphone. It outlines the necessary hardware and software, explains the circuit connections between the Arduino and the HC-05/06 module, and includes a link to a video demonstration for visual guidance.

Parts used in the Arduino Bluetooth Control Project:

  • Bluetooth Module HC 05/06
  • Arduino
  • LED
  • 220Ω Resistor
  • Android device
  • Arduino IDE
  • Android Studio

Ever thought of controlling any electronic devices with your smart phone ?Controlling your robot or any other devices with your smartphone will be really cool. Here is is a simple and basic tutorial for interfacing Bluetooth with arduino

Step 1: Things You Need

Hardware

Software

Step 2: Watch How Does It Works ?

Watch the video tutorial

Step 3: Let’s Start Building

The circuit is so simple and small , there is only few connection to be made

Arduino Pins___________Bluetooth Module Pins

RX (Pin 0)___________________TX

TX (Pin 1)___________________RX

5V_________________________VCC

GND_______________________GND

Connect a LED negative to GND of arduino and positive to pin 13 with a resistance valued between 220Ω – 1KΩ. And your done with the circuit

Note : Don’t Connect RX to RX and TX to TX of Bluetooth to arduinoyou will receive no data , Here TX means Transmit and RX means Receive
