Bluetooth devices are widely used in many consumers products, its the most popular wireless protocol for small point-to-point networking. Every laptop and just about every computer has Bluetooth classic built into it, so you often don’t need a data receiver for a computer. And recently, the Bluefruit product family has made it even easier to integrate Bluetooth in an Arduino project. So why not use this technology in a simple home automation project?
Bluetooth is fast, low-power, and you can communicate with Bluetooth devices directly from a computer because they usually have built-in Bluetooth capabilities. The other nice thing is that with this project, you will be able to change the sketch running on your Arduino via the Bluetooth connection, without having to plug any cables!
In this project, you will learn how to connect a Bluetooth module to Arduino, transmit measurements from a temperature & humidity sensor to your computer, and display the data in a nice Python interface. Let’s start!
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
