Serial.begin(9600) // start serial communication at 9600bps PinMode(ledpin, OUTPUT) // pin 13 (on-board LED) as OUTPUT Int ledpin = 13 // Arduino LED pin 13 (on-board LED) Open your Arduino Software, create a new sketch and copy the following code:Ĭhar val // variable to receive data from the serial port CodeĬonnect your Arduino to your Computer using an USB cable as usual. Take note of the port number because you will need it later. Right Click on the linvor device and select Properties. Click on the Services Tab and you should see the Serial Port service along with a port number. The device should now be successfully added to the computer.Ĭlick Close to return to the Bluetooth Devices list. When asked select the option Enter the device’s pairing code. Enter the code 1234 (other bluetooth modules may have different codes). The search should bring up a bluetooth device called linvor. Select linvor and click Next. Right click the Bluetooth Icon in the System Tray and select Bluetooth Devices. Click on the Add a Device. No other configuration steps are required. Then just wait until the pairing is completed. Therefore, click on Passcode Option and enter 1234 (other bluetooth modules may have different codes). You need a specific passcode to pair the Bluetooth module and your Mac. The Bluetooth Module will appear as linvor. Under the section Internet & Wireless click on the Bluetooth icon. I am using this particular module but should be similar with others.īefore to start, you need to have either a built-in Bluetooth module or a Bluetooth dongle installed in your PC/Mac. In addition you also need to have installed on your system both Arduino Software and Processing.įirstly you need to set up the bluetooth module whitin your Mac or PC.

This tutorial will show you how to setup a Bluetooth Module for use as a serial data connection. If your project requires either higher range or more bandwidth you should opt for a more expensive WiFi module. The drawbacks of this solution are the limited range, about 10 meters, and the low bandwidth speed.
The cheapest way to connect your Arduino to your PC wirelessly is using Bluetooth. The following tutorial is based on the one available at the following link ( ).
