Physical Computing - Arduino + Bluetooth + Gadget Control

[direktormikong]

what bluetooth module did you use? was it the kc5100?

[miumiub]

@direktormikong BlueSMiRF Gold from sparkfun.com

[direktormikong]

@miumiub thanks for the reply, and the link! I really appreciate it :D

so if the sound captured wasn't high-pitches, the vacuum would keep going on when it trigger any sound and never stop because the vacuum is noisy? :)

[miumiub]

@TheMasterAbdul Exactly! I remember I did some calibration to avoid the vacuum noise triggling

[TheMasterAbdul]

@miumiub thank you for the comment, but I the movement triggering for the vaccum, is it any type of movement is enough to make it move?

[miumiub]

@TheMasterAbdul basically, yes. I just calculated the total pixel difference between two frames. It triggers the system when the value of difference is greater than a given threshold.

[TheMasterAbdul]

@miumiub thanks alot I thought it might be getting more complex to have a specific type of moment, altho it would be more sophisticated. I am thinking to do some complese things but not ready yet. I am doing my master after I just finished my BS degree in computer engineering

[kkpuzp2]

How did you do the motion capture and the sound recognition?

[miumiub]

@kkpuzp2 i did motion sensing with processing video library and sound with Ess library (also for processing)

Nice project! Im trying to develop an app for the iphone and i want to control my room with a bluetooth! so anything can connect to this bluetooth, even an iphone right? and u say it's easy to program and everything! my problem is i used basic stamp and i have to start using the arduino! :( but gr8 project!

[svippe]

Nice work!

[drberk30]

pretty cool 

[indikaGreat]

Very Interesting.

I am trying to do the same with a cheap ($2) Bluetooth dongle I bought on Ebay. Any ideas?

[machielveldkamp]

Brilliant!

[ellpancha]

can the BlueSMiRF Gold be paried with a cellphone, to manage the arduino?

[harisdmac]

Pretty nice! Could you tell us which BT module you are using?

[miumiub]

BlueSMiRF Gold, very easy to use

[wseydjfgjhfgagkdfajh]

@miumiub can you make a tutorial please??

[miumiub]

Which Bluetooth module are you using? Mine one is easy, you just need to connect Arduino's TX and RX to Bluetooth module's RX and TX respectively.

[abulmagd3]

did u implement bt stack on ardunio for pairing with the computer

[miumiub]

no, i just used serial library on arduino

[h3mpbr]

parabéns...

[Romkoolhaas]

arduino bluetooth?

[miumiub]

No, it is Arduino Duemilanove. I just added a Bluetooth module.

[abulmagd3]

U made arduino speaks usb protocol, that is pretty difficult i think

[miumiub]

Actually it is just the same as serial (rx,tx).

[aeofeneo]

very cute!
