This post is a continuation from an earlier post on an experiment to display my NMEA wind instrument data via Bluetooth.......
Update:
Spend the last few weeks developing a new Android app for my Tablet to show my wind instrument data over Bluetooth. Here is how my development works:
- VB.Net program producing simulated NMEA sentences. This is sent out to one of my laptops COM ports using standard baud rate (4800 baud)
- Installed a bluetooth dongle to my laptop to broadcast this simulated NMEA data.
- Started the VB.Net program to send data over bluetooth
- Paired my computers bluetooth with my Android bluetooth
- Develop the Android app using Eclipse and Android plugin
- Install the Android app (I called it WindTooth) on the tablet
- Start the android app, pick the bluetooth device
- the data feed from my laptop is displayed within the Android app
See below for 2 screen shots:
Next steps: Look into standalone bluetooth devices that accept serial data and broadcast as a standalone device (no laptop or PC needed)
