UPDATE: Replaced the BT module with another (better) one: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B005AFPJLU/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00 It's faster, cheaper and easier to configure. Still have to improve the range (guess I have a grounding problem).

A protocol update will be released soon which simplifies the command structure.

App is progressing and wokring almost like a charm :)

This project uses SPP bluetooth module to connect to a netduino / arduino. Actually this part is very generic and could be used wherever needed. It contains an Android app that supports a protocoll used by the netduino / arduino firmware (also available here) The main purpose is to control a 10 channel dimmer for EL wires.

Almost all channel commands are implemented (documentation will follow, so far only in code comments and in text file) Some general commands are done, the most critical I guess Still some work to do for the buffer control (too many overflows in the error log) Android App has been started. Phew Bluetooth looks a bit different here. :/

####Requirements

• GUI for Android and PC

####Open:

• Android implementation
• Portation from Netduino to Arduino

####Closed:

• Library for using dimming hardware
• Dimming hardware for 8 and 16 channels
• protocol for BT interface on Netduino
• Find BT firmware that can be used with Android Phones.
• Test Firmware on Netduino to configure BT module and send commands
