Hi
I am a relative beginner in this field.I want to start a project to control a sail winch servo via Bluetooth connection.
I imagine I need some sort of “of the shelf” Bluetooth transmitter /receiver unit and a servo driver.
This only needs to be a single channel proportional system. I have no idea what is available or how to connect these elements together so any advice would be well appreciated .
Hi,
You can use this Lynxmotion SSC-32U Bluetooth Servo Controller which includes a Bluetooth Bee module.
It can control up to 32 servos.
Thanks Bdaouas
It seems like a bit of a sledgehammer to crack a wallnut though.I only need to control 1 servo and the smaller and lighter the unit the better
.Any other ideas?
I don,t mind doing a bit of soldering.
You are right, the SSC32 might be overkill for your application (since you will be controlling only one servo), however it is the only servo controller we offer that has an XBee socket to directly plug a Bluetooth Bee module.
You can always use a Bluetooth Module with an Arduino microcontroller or an Arduino microcontroller that has built-in Bluetooth as the Bluno.
Here is a tutorial that shows you how to control a servo using an Arduino Nano and a HC-06 Bluetooth module.
