CPX bluetooth capability?

Post by rpremvaree »

Hi!

I'm trying to see if I can get a Circuit Playground Express respond to a button presses from a bluetooth connected game controller. I know the Bluefruit has this capability but I just purchased a class set of CPX's last year so I'm looking for a workaround.

Could a bluetooth module like https://www.adafruit.com/product/1327 and a micro to USB adapter work? What other kind of additional hardware and setup would be required?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

This might work better: https://www.adafruit.com/product/2479. It just uses Tx/Rx from the CPX.

$17.50 vs $25 for a CPB.
