Advice on adding simple Bluetooth control.

Post by Danzini »

Need advice on which product would be best.
I need to add simple remote momentary switch control to my coin op fortune teller using my Cell phone. So as the owner I can play custom routines when I'm near the teller.

Was going to get a Adafruit Feather 32u4 Bluefruit LE.
I there a better Bluetooth board choice?

Thanks for bluetooth board advice.
Dan
Here is a link to a video of my Teller.

The 32u4 BLE should do what you need.

To compare different hardware options, you need a list of functional requirements that let you say one is a better fit than another. The only requirement you mentioned is the need for BLE communication, which they all do equally well.

Thanks Mike. Bought a feather. I just need to call for a switch closer using my cell phone. Figure it's very basic for the feather to perform. Even if I resort to a relay. More interested in custom phone app now.
