Thank you Ralph, The answer to your reply query is definitely YES. I've done all 7 more than once. BTW: I got started looking at Bluetooth when I purchased two Nanos that have integrated BLE. When I couldn't get those talking, I thought I might learn something that might help by replicating your #36 & 37 experiments. Maybe you could do another episode focused on BLE (or just Bluetooth Ver 4). I did learn that there are different sets of AT commands. Meanwhile I'll keep trying to get the HC05 going by trying different Modes, etc.
@RalphBacon5 жыл бұрын
The idea is to move away from AT commands, Dave, and use the inbuilt facilities within C++. If you follow this video _exactly_ then you will the _exact_ same results (sounds logical, right?) When you say you have Nanos with integrated BT, what are they? Got a link? Arduino are about to release new Nanos (June/July 2019) with this type of feature but I'm not aware of any others right now.

OMG you watched all 36 videos! I guess you must be a very keen Arduinite (or really, really bored!). But seriously, it's great that you would spend the time watching them all and I'm really glad it gave you some ideas and tips. The IDE I use (sometimes) is the Eclipse IDE for Arduino (it's used for much more than Arduino, but there is a special version for Arduino users: eclipse.baeyens.it/download.php) but I do warn you it may take a couple of hours to get it up and running the way you want to. That's after you've read umpteen forums and FAQ pages! I was going to do a video on it but realised it was not for noobs (I use Microsoft Visual Studio in my day job and the Eclipse IDE feels very familiar - but not for the fainthearted). But if you're interested have a go - you can always revert back to the standard IDE as I do. Thanks for your kind words and do spread the word and subscribe if you haven't already.

Hi Ralph Downloaded all the code OK, so thanks for that. I've compared your .ino code with mine and it is virtually identical - apart from a few omitted comments - but I still can't understand why, if I comment out the BTserial.print("ON") or OFF on mine, it doesn't work properly. It will switch on the LED, then get hung up waiting for the two bytes. But yours works OK without it!

So let's see if I understand this: *my code* without the BTSerial.Print statements works fine, but *yours* does not? (Actually, I notice I have two versions of that sketch (have a look in that folder). Guess what the difference is? Doh!) Given that this video was done some time ago you'll forgive me I'm sure if I can't quite recall all the finer details so if the two statements (used, for debugging, I believe, or for sending a response back to your module) is what you need then put them in and enjoy the BT goodness! Once you get the LED working reliably on/off with the reply to your mobile BT device then you will be undoubtedly see the possibilities of controlling *anything* (with a bit of coding). Frankly I'm really glad you got at least one version of the sketch working OK!

I chose to make a rocket that would send its coordinates to a device within Bluetooth range. I purchased the ublocks Neo-6m GPS module and the HC-06 Bluetooth. Would I be able to initiate a connection from the device and receive the GPS data in the Bluetooth Terminal? I am brand new to Arduino and after lots of trying I am running out of time, I'm wondering if you can help.
@RalphBacon5 жыл бұрын
Well, PRObro, I can't do your assignment for you but let's think about this. The GPS module is entirely separate, logically from anything else. If your onboard Arduino is receiving GPS telemetry then it can send that via BT to a receiver (within range, as you say, which might not be that much, 30 metres? How high does your rocket fly?). I think I would have used a longer range data transmission protocol, perhaps using the nRF24L01+ modules, up to 1km range in free space (or sky). Whatever you use, my advice is to separate the two parts of this project and get them working independently before trying to combine them.

@RalphBacon7 жыл бұрын
Hey Golestaan! Welcome! Great you like the videos. I use the FTDI programmer so that the USB is still free to receive Serial data from/to the PC. Otherwise, you are working "blind" as you are using the same pins to communicate with it as when you upload the code, receive Serial messages etc. But, as you've found out, it works with those restrictions. Most developers leave pins 0 and 1 alone for this reason. An FTDI USB to Serial interface doesn't cost a lot and once you have it you can use it to program Sparkfun Micros (and other devices, that don't even have a USB port) for example. Thanks for posting this question, I'm sure others will read it and gain from it too :)

I then also want to be able to tare and recalibrate the scale from the smartphone. Which bluetooth module do I need for 2-way communication? HC06 or HC05? Confused!
@RalphBacon8 жыл бұрын
Welcome to my channel! If you want the Arduino (via the Bluetooth module) to initiate the connection then you need an HC-05. If you want to connect to the Arduino from your phone (by launching an app) then an HC-06 is enough. That said, an HC-05 offers the best of both worlds inasmuch that it can be either master (initiator) or slave (responder) for just about the same price as an HC-05 (I'm pretty sure it's just a different version of the flashed code contained within it that determines whether it's an HC-05 or an HC-06). So if you have not got a Bluetooth module already get the HC05 for flexibility! I have an HC-05 module and I will do another video in the future with the HC-05 initiating the connection to the phone to 'push' messages out to an Android app. I have a project in mind that I need to complete before winter so stay tuned! BTW did you watch my Coffee Cup Coaster Load Cell video on the HX711 which shows how to connect it all up? That coaster is very popular at work with everybody wanting one! Not that I have the time to build them (I want to make a new one for myself first, for use at home).

So, I've had a think. 1. Are you connecting the TX/RX pair the correct way round? That is, the RX of the FTDI is going to the TX of the HC06 module? And ditto for the TX of the FTDI? 2. And you are SURE you have an HC06, not an HC05? The HC06 is permanently in AT mode (when not paired) as soon as you switch it on; mine has a rapid red LED light flashing. 3. You should be able to set the baud rate on your Arduino IDE to 38400 and "Both NL & CR". Then send AT and you should get a response of OK. 4. The HC06 (slave device) will probably have something like JY-MCU on the back (probably).. 5. An HC05 device has something like ZS-040 on the back (probably). Any luck? If not, and you're sure it's an HC06 run the example BT program on your Arduino and try and connect to it anyway using the phone app I supplied. I just tried this again and it connected straightaway (although I had modified my HC06 sometime in the past and called it an RSB which made it easier to identify).

Hello Ralph, I've watched all 147 of your videos (and those regarding Arduinos multiple times.) And I've successfully replicated and modified many of your projects. However, when I try to duplicate the #36 Bluetooth LED experiment (using a slave DSD TECH HC-05 in place of the 06 you show) I can't make it work. Changing the HC-05 by using AT commands through FTDI all works as you show. But, for controlling the LED using a MEGA, I've tried both sketches and also tried adding the "BTserial.println" changes someone suggested. The Android App connects with the HC-05 OK(?) and reads back the "Set up complete" message. But nothing seems to be transmitting from the App by the Arduino and so the LED remains stubbornly OFF. I'm sure I've faithfully replicated your wiring and have tried changing '05 modules, etc. I realize it's been a long time since #36 was done and the '05 architecture might have changed enough to be the problem - but my research hasn't found anything useful in that area. Any ideas or suggestions about what I might be doing wrong or should change in the setup?
@RalphBacon5 жыл бұрын
You're right about this being some time ago, Dave, but the hardware will not have changed. The main difference between an HC-05 and HC-06 is that the HC-05 can be a master _or_ slave. The HC-06 is a slave only. This means the HC-05 can initiate a connection to another device and the HC-06 can only accept a connection from another device, such as your phone. So you have swapped out a slave-only device with a master-or-slave - which should be OK. Let's do this step-by-step to ensure we are both on the same page: 1. The Android app is up and running on your phone. 2. The Arduino app is connected to the HC-05 via the correct resistor divider and is running 3. You can connect with your phone to the Arduino / BT by pressing the "Choose BT device" button. 4. If you press the ON or OFF on the Android app, nothing happens on the Arduino. 5. Have you put various debugging (Serial.print) statements in the Arduino code to prove that _nothing_ is being received? In the loop() after the BTserial.available statement? 6. You have definitely used the correct pins in the SoftwareSerial setup? 7. The baud rate is correct (I chose 9600 for reliability over speed)? If all the above is a "Yes" then we will have to check the HC-05 vs HC-06 setup. Let me know about the above first. And a big thank you for being such an avid viewer of my videos 🙂

Good question you have there, Maggie May! Firstly, did you get it working *first* on a standard Uno or Nano? It's always useful to have a working prototype and *then* move to a ported platform.

Are you running the ATTiny85 at 5v or 3.3v? At this point the ATTiny85 just reads serial data in the standard manner, so I am bit confused now.

No, the apk is for the mobile phone app, it doesn't have any bearing on the Arduino side of things; it simply does its BT thing (in this case to that BT module). Yes, pin 1 is Reset on the Tiny unless you've disabled that to get another GPIO pin. But if not, ignore that and use two pins that are free. This is always going to be a bit of a challenge because you have so few pins. Now when you say "not working" what exactly happens, if anything? I've assumed you've tested the BT module because you say it works on the Uno. Sure you haven't swapped the Rx / Tx pair over? Final question: why are you so keen to get this working on an ATTiny85?

When you plug it in and type AT you don't get an OK response? Firstly, it can take a couple or more goes to wake it up. More commonly, you haven't got it in Command Mode. Disconnect the device from power, press the small button and reconnect the power whilst you keep the button down. After a few seconds the red light will start blinking slowly. Release the button and try the AT command again, a few times. If still nothing, triple check your wiring.
