#4 Arduino Mega: Bluetooth Communication to Toggle the LED (using HC-05) | APDaga Tech

IoT Tutorial #4 [ Arduino Mega Tutorials #4 ]

Here I will demonstrate the mini project, Turning ON / OFF the LED using wireless Serial Communication using Bluetooth Module HC-05 using Arduino Mega (ATMega 2560).


Problem Statement:
- To Turn ON / OFF the LED using wireless Serial Communication (Tx1 and Rx1).
- Serial communication will be done by USB cable (A to B) for cross-checking the output. (through Tx0 and Rx0)


Requirements:
- Arduino Mega (ATMega 2560)
- USB Cable (A to B)
- Android Phone with "Bluetooth Terminal" App installed in it.
- 1 LED
- 1k Resistor
- Bread Board
- Male to Male wires (minimum 6)



Program Outcome:

Output is shown using LED
If Mobile keypad key "a" / "A" is pressed -> LED ON
If Mobile keypad key "b" / "B" is pressed -> LED OFF

> Output message displayed on Arduino Terminal on Desktop
using serial communication (Tx0 and Rx0).
NOTE:
Baud Rate is set to 9600
Steps:
1. Install "Bluetooth Terminal" app (By Juan Sebastian Ochoa Zambrano) 
on Android mobile from Play Store.
2. Make Physical Connections of the BLuetooth Module (HC-05) as given below.
3. On Android mobile, Search for Bluetooth and Connect to HC-05
and pair it using password "0000" or "1234".
4. Open "Bluetooth Terminal" App on the Mobile and
connect to paired HC-05 module
Physical Connection:
Arduino Mega -> BluetoothModule
Pin18(Tx1) -> Rx
Pin19(Rx1) -> Tx
Gnd -> GND
Vcc -> VCC(+5V)

Pin13 -> LED+
Gnd -> LED-

Serial Communication through USB cable(Tx0 and Rx0) to
Arduino Terminal(Desktop)is used just to cross verify.

Demonstration:




Program:

void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
Serial.begin(9600); //Tx0 and Rx0 //Set Baud Rate to 9600 for Serial Communication Tx0 and Rx0
Serial1.begin(9600); //Tx1 and Rx1 //Connected to Bluetooth Module HC-05 (Bluetooth 2.0)
//Serial2; //Tx2 and Rx2
//Serial3; //Tx3 and Rx3

pinMode(13, OUTPUT); //Set Pin 13 as Output (Connected to LED)

Serial.println("press \"a\" or \"A\" to switch ON the LED"); //To Desktop
Serial.println("press \"b\" or \"B\" to switch OFF the LED");
Serial1.println("press \"a\" or \"A\" to switch ON the LED"); //To mobile
Serial1.println("press \"b\" or \"B\" to switch OFF the LED");
}

void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

if(Serial1.available()>0)
{
int buffer_value = Serial1.read();
if(buffer_value == 'a' || buffer_value == 'A')
{
digitalWrite(13, HIGH); //Turn ON LED
Serial.println("LED ON"); //Arduino Terminal of Desktop
Serial1.println("LED ON"); //Bluetooth Terminal on Mobile
}
else if(buffer_value == 'b' || buffer_value == 'B')
{
digitalWrite(13, LOW); //Turn OFF LED
Serial.println("LED OFF"); //Arduino Terminal on Desktop
Serial1.println("LED OFF"); //Bluetooth Terminal on Mobile
}
}
}
