Hello, I found that it is using client and server architecture,could it be done using serial data transmission which is done in Arduino microcontrollers
Hi Harish Kumar, Yes, it is possible. We have covered UART, SPI, and I2C Implementation in the course along with Projects for each Implementation. You can find the course link in the description if you are interested in working with Raspberry Pi 4. Thank You.
The Blue Dot app can be installed on laptops as well. We are sharing a link to download Blue Dot on laptop : napkforpc.com/apk/com.wcg.driver.app.mobile/
Hi, when I try to use the sudo pip3 install bluedot command, it tells me that it could not find a version that satisfies the requirement bluedot or no matching distribution found for bluedot. Did I do something wrong?
Hi Samshthony, If you read the official documentation of Bluedot here: bluedot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pairpiandroid.html You can see that they have mentioned that you may face connection error prompts, and you should ignore them and continue if the initial pairing was done successfully. Please, move on to the implementation part and observe the working. Thank You
@@MAKERDEMY i face the same issue, when i select my raspberrypi in the blue dot app the blue dot doesnt appear and i i get a "unable to connect" message. How can i ignore it and do the led test without pressing the blue dot?
Hi Amilios Petorulas, To test the LED, you have to select the Blue Dot, as this project works on the BlueDot Library. When we implemented this, we used to get the "unable to connect" message, but the BlueDot used to appear after some time, and we were able to continue with the Project. Due to the COVID lockdown situation, we are unable to test the latest version on the hardware, to rule out any new bugs. We will get back to you, once we get a change to test out the project again, with the latest version of the library and app. Meanwhile you can try this out: github.com/BehindTheSciences/Raspberry-Pi-Bluetooth-GPIO-Control. We hope this was helpful. Thank You
Hi jeffegg2, As of now the bluedot library is not compatible with the iOS. From our research on the App Store for iOS, there are only general purpose BLE/Bluetooth apps. This means that while you can indeed connect your Pi to you iOS device and establish two-way communication, it will not be as easy as using the bluedot library. You might want to check out the Bluepy Python library that has good documentation. You should also check out these resources: medium.com/@superlopuh/raspberry-pi-ios-communication-in-bluetooth-c7599e257f2 raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/51134/connect-an-iphone-to-a-pi-3b-with-bluetooth-low-energy learn.adafruit.com/pibeacon-ibeacon-with-a-raspberry-pi/overview We hope this was helpful.

Hi Smashthony Pro, In this video, we have used the Thonny Python Editor to run our code. First, pause the video at 3:53, and refer the code and type it in a python file created by the Thonny IDE. Once the code is saved, you may click the green "Run" icon on the menu bar. Once it is running, the Bluedot service will get enabled in the background, then you can control the LED with the Bluedot App, once paired and connected. Thank You
