Don Coleman Connecting Arduino Phones With Bluetooth Cordova PDF

This document summarizes connecting an Arduino to phones using Bluetooth and the Cordova framework. It discusses using the BluetoothSerial Cordova plugin to connect to Arduino devices from Android and Bluetooth Low Energy from iOS. Examples are provided to discover devices, connect, send data to control an LED strip, and receive sensor data. The document also introduces the RFduino Cordova plugin for using Bluetooth Low Energy with RFduino devices.

Connecting Arduino & Phones

with Bluetooth & Cordova
Philly ETE - April 23, 2014
Presented by Don Coleman / @doncoleman
Apache Cordova
PhoneGap
npm install -g cordova
http://docs.cordova.io
Arduino
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

#define RxD 6
#define TxD 7

SoftwareSerial bluetooth(RxD,TxD);
int counter = 0;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
bluetooth.begin(9600);
Serial.println("Bluetooth Counter\n");
}
void loop() {
Serial.println(counter);
bluetooth.println(counter);
counter++;
delay(1000);
}
Bluetooth Serial
Cordova Plugin
https://github.com/don/BluetoothSerial
Installing
$ cordova plugin install \
com.megster.cordova.bluetoothserial
Connecting
var macAddress = "00:00:AA:BB:CC:DD";

bluetoothSerial.connect(
macAddress,
connected,
disconnected);
Sending Data
bluetoothSerial.write("Hello Arduino");
Receiving Data
var onMessage = function(data) {
console.log(data);
};

bluetoothSerial.subscribe("\n",
onMessage,
onFailure);
Demo
Phone receives data from Arduino
Listing Devices
bluetoothSerial.list(success, failure);
List shows paired devices
[{
"class": 276,
"id": "10:BF:48:CB:00:00",
"address": "10:BF:48:CB:00:00",
"name": "Nexus 7"
}, {
"class": 7936,
"id": "00:06:66:4D:00:00",
"address": "00:06:66:4D:00:00",
"name": "RN42"
}]
What about iOS?
Bluetooth Low Energy
aka Bluetooth Smart
BLE doesn't have SPP
but available hardware has "serial like" services
UART Service
RX - write without response
TX - read, notify
Discovering devices
bluetoothSerial.list(success, failure);

No pairing, finds devices


List discovered devices
[{
"id": "CC410A23-2865-F03E-FC6A-4C17E858E11E",
"uuid": "CC410A23-2865-F03E-FC6A-4C17E858E11E",
"name": "Biscuit",
"rssi": -68
},{

"uuid": "ED7127D4-593B-490E-9DA7-959FE78EC603",
"name": "UART",
"rssi": -47
}]
Once you're connected
there's no difference
(except BLE only handles small chunks of data)
BLE hardware
RedBearLab BLEmini

c red, green, blue
c0,0,255\n
Demo
Phone controls LED strip on Arduino
Control NeoPixel LED on Arduino from Android
onColorChange: function (evt) {
var c = app.getColor();
rgbText.innerText = c; // 0,0,255
previewColor.style.backgroundColor =
"rgb(" + c + ")";
app.sendToArduino(c);
},
sendToArduino: function(c) {
bluetoothSerial.write("c" + c + "\n");
},
void loop() {

if (bluetooth.find("c")) {
red = bluetooth.parseInt();
green = bluetooth.parseInt();
blue = bluetooth.parseInt();
showColor(red, green, blue);
}
