Using Blue Dot with Raspberry Pi and HC-05 #184

Closed engineerlab closed 1 year ago

engineerlab commented 1 year ago

Hello, is it possible to use the Blue Dot with the Raspberry Pi 2 and an external module like the HC-05? What I have to change in the python programm to go this way? I read alot the https://bluedot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/gettingstarted.html# but didnt figured out, what to do?

Using the python serial module works fine sending and receaving data from the HC-05, but how can I use it witth the blue dot android app for example or the blue dot library?

Thanks in advance.

To use a Bluetooth device with bluedot it will have to be recognised by the OS as a bluetooth device.

I have never used a HC04 Bluetooth module, when it's connected does it appear as a device when you run bluetootctl?

If it isn't recognised, I think you will be out of luck. A low cost USB Bluetooth dongle would be an alternative solution.
