Use Android as a bluetooth remote controller for Arduino

The Arduino Bluetooth Controller Chrome extension allows you to seamlessly control your Arduino projects wirelessly using an Android device as a remote controller. Simply connect your Android device to any micro-controller equipped with a Bluetooth module and send custom commands directly from your keyboard or via intuitive buttons.

This extension simplifies the interaction between your Android device and Arduino board, providing a user-friendly interface to search and connect to Bluetooth modules. Perfect for makers looking to enhance their Arduino projects with remote control capabilities, it supports quick connectivity and flexible command input for diverse project needs.

User reviews

Users appreciate the app's stability, ease of use, and effective connection with common Bluetooth modules for Arduino projects. However, several reviews highlight issues such as the lack of advanced control interfaces like joysticks, problems with dimmer data transmission causing serial parsing errors, commands sent only on button release rather than hold, missing quick reconnect function, and occasional compatibility problems with specific modules or devices.
Pros
  • Stable and easy to use for Bluetooth Arduino projects
  • Able to connect to HM-10 and HC-05 Bluetooth modules effectively
  • User-friendly interface with some additional features like haptic feedback
  • Provides useful functions such as switches, dimmer, and text input terminal
  • Helpful in troubleshooting and learning Bluetooth communication with Arduino
Cons
  • Lack of joystick control or advanced controller interface as advertised
  • Dimmer sends continuous integers without end markers causing parsing issues
  • Commands are sent only at button release, not on button hold, leading to control problems
  • No option to reconnect quickly inside controller mode, requiring full reconnect process
  • Compatibility issues with certain Bluetooth modules and devices, leading to pairing failures

Only app out of 5 to connect to hm 10, but only has switch, dimmer, and text input terminal. NO controller interface like the pictures supposedly show

Operated our twin fan system until it stopped communicating. It's still going but the online info monitoring isn't
