Although I use a HC-06 in the below examples the HC-05 in slave mode can also be used. Using MITs app inventor it is fairly easy to create an app that can turn a LED on and off from an Android device. This is a fairly simply example of sending commands to the Arduino to … Read more
The HC-06 is a slave only BT module that is fairly easy to use with the Arduino using serial communication. Once it is connected it simply relays what it receives by bluetooth to the Arduino and whatever it receives from the Arduino it sends to the connected device. There are several slightly different versions of … Read more
