Abstract

In Chapter 12 (GPS tracking app with Google Maps), data was transmitted to an app on an Android tablet or mobile phone by an ESP32 microcontroller with Bluetooth communication. In Chapter 10 (Build an app), an HC-05 Bluetooth module was connected to an ESP8266 development board to communicate with an app. If the device to transfer data to an app does not have Bluetooth functionality, then USB OTG (On-the-Go) communication connects the device with the app. In this chapter, the device without Bluetooth functionality is an Arduino Uno. An HC-05 Bluetooth module could be connected to the Arduino Uno for Bluetooth communication with the Android tablet or mobile phone, but this chapter focuses on USB OTG communication.
