Firmata over Bluetooth on Arduino?

I have Firmata working fine on an Arduino Uno, communicating over cable USB to Processing.

I want to get rid of the cable, and run the connection over Bluetooth transport (with a BlueSMIRF module). I am unclear on what I need to do to Firmata to tell it to use the BT module rather than the (unconnected) USB cable interface. In particular, do I need to hack Firmata itself to add initialization code which is

  1. specific to the BT module I'm using, or
  2. more generally, needed to tell Firmata to use a port other than the cabled USB?

Thanks

Solution

  • I am NOT very good in Firmata, but as i know, Firmata (on arduino) uses 'Serial' (pin 0 and 1, also aka as TX,RX) to communication with the Host. So, if u want to use a BT module to replace your USB cable on the arduino, hack the Firmata to use other pins, other connect the BT to pin 0 and 1.
