#36 Control your Arduino from your phone - HC06 Bluetooth module

So you've got a Smartphone running Android? Cool, then you can control your Arduino using an HC-06 (or HC-05) Bluetooth module and impress your friends as you turn on the lounge lighting from your phone!

It takes just a few lines of code in your Arduino and a simple terminal emulator on your phone to get started in remotely controlling your Arduino, whether to turn on the lounge lights, your kids' toys, your electric curtains or your sprinkler system!

I'll take you through the simple, few steps to get you started and then in Part 2 (video #37) I'll show you how to create an app for your Android phone in about 15 minutes - easy!

Here the links you want when you follow this video:
