Controlling Your Project: Bluetooth Arduino

Abstract

In this chapter, we will build a robot that we can control wirelessly, using a Bluetooth shield that we’ll also create in this chapter. We will continue to use the LabVIEW software that we created in the previous chapter, with a few minor tweaks. However, the Arduino software will change substantially, as we will not be using the GPS shield or microSD shield. We will not be doing any preliminary projects for this chapter, as we have worked with the Bluetooth Mate Silver from SparkFun before. Instead, we get right to the customer’s requested project. Of course, after all that’s done, we will troubleshoot any issues that the hardware configuration might have encountered. Then, we will debug any issues that occurred with that the LabVIEW and Arduino software. We should then have a finished prototype, ready for the customer to use.
