Recently I am trying to do experiment with wireless communication.
one of the easy way to control home lighting is radio frequency module and 2
Arduino board . but there is a one other easy option available to control on and
off action of ac device . it’s a Bluetooth shield . here in this tutorial we
are going to learn how to control on and off action of ac bulb with Redbearlab Bluetooth
low power shield v 2.0 . and android /ios application.
Part to be required
1.
Arduino board(uno or arduino mega).
2.
Android or ios device.
3.
Standard library of redbearlab.
4.
Relay board.
s
Arduino board
Complete introduction of arduino is given on arduino.cc . if
you don’t know anything about arduino and its programming just download free e
book here
Relay board
Output of arduino is generally 5v dc . for controlling ac bulb we have to control on
and off action of relay board . we can also make a realy circuit but standard
channel realy board is available at market so you can buy from below link..
Blutooth shield
You can buy it from many website . here I give link of amazon .
Download standard library
download arduino ide from Arduino.cc (1.0.5)
how to add library to arduino ide ?
open the download folder .
open example /Rbl / ble controller sketch ..and compile.
- iOS BLE Controller App
- Android BLE Controller App
- connect the arduino with shield
upload the program to arduino board .
turn on wi-fi and Bluetooth and open BLE controller application . from that you can able to control on and off action and pwm of any pin . now connect relay board with arduino and control ac bulb. enjoy.
