Android Bluetooth to Arduino and vice versa

Are you sure? Isn’t it 1 kHz?

i measure and generate on analog pln about 1.6 microsecond

These HC-05 modules normally come with a baud rate set to 9600, but of course with the AT commands you can set them to higher values. Normally I use 115200. But even then, a baud rate of 115200 generates in theory 12800 bytes per second, and every character is a byte. You need 3 bytes to give you the Y value, so that leaves you with approximately 4266 Y-values per second. And then you need delimiters, and sometimes handshaking code. So I guess there’s something wrong with your calculation.

do not forget that the arduino it self can mange your readings before you send them out

It’s not about the frequency an Arduino can generate, but about the speed, the data is sent through Bluetooth. :smiley:

i know what you mean and i mean that arduino sending digitized signals not direct signals

my hantek pc oscilloscope is 80 mhz bandwidth and 250 mhz sampling rate and linking serial with pc at 9600 b/r

Well, I won’t argue, but I promised to make a code, so I will, but only after tomorrow midday, because I haven’t finished my current work.

ok and thanks in advance

i am waiting

Just a last question. How many milliseconds are you using in the delay() of your Arduino code at this moment?

the best vary from 100 to 200 ms

Today I have spent some time trying to plot some lines to the canvas like I’ve done before with the Ketai lib, but I found out that I can’t plot any data on my Android 10 phone. It connects and I can read the data in the console with the println() function but that’s it. So I installed the APDE version v0.4.1 Alpha which I used the last time for plotting and installed it on my Lollipop phone, Which worked again. But for me working with a library that can’ even transmit data to the draw() loop makes no sense, so I will try to write my own library.
I did write some code to handle the incoming string, and it works so that you can use a delay with just a few milliseconds in your Arduino code. It is as it is, for now, and needs some improvement, but the actual library is my priority now. If you test something please let me know, on what device with what versions of the software. I also saw your new topic with the graphic library. Did that work with plotting lines?

thanks for you i am going to try this code to day

Hi
It is work

This is my tablet

Those vertical lines are because the string handling still has failures, but I need to (try) finish my Bluetooth code first. If you make the delay a little bigger, the results will be probably better, I guess.
Did you build it on PC or APDE?

noel
with APDE

Newest version?
I also saw that you used Android Oreo, so did you add extra code for the permissions?

Hi

Now grafica library run on APDE
