I need to build a remote control / sensor system that also has both local and remote display and control. I don’t mean to nor care about linking to my phone or any other devices? Can the Artemis Redboard Nano be linked via Bluetooth to the Artemis Redboard to read sensors and control circuits located at the latter? Is this the right way to go? I’ve built a few Arduino projects before and am fairly competent at programming. Sending me to someone else’s GitHub isn’t what I’m looking for really. Primarily I just need to know if I’m using a screwdriver as a hammer and a crowbar as a toothpick or what. I know they can link to my phone but I want them to talk to each other and only each other. Any specific library references or would be greatly appreciated.
I would like to know this too. I plan on picking up all Artemis boards with the intention of having them all communicate remotely with each other, not phones or computers. I initially plan to just link them using an RFM69 module for now because it appears BLE has a lot of developing that hasn’t been completed yet. However, once it is capable, I will immediately ditch the RFM69 modules to reduce my overall package size. Plus, bluetooth is going to be faster at transferring data. I will have 4 Artemis Nano remote sensor nodes, and 1 Artemis Redboard as the main host device. So right now with no real working BLE, it is going to be like using a screwdriver as a saw. You’ll just need to grind the screwdriver into a serrated blade for the time being.
Haha nice analogy - and just like grinding teeth into a screwdriver it is possible to do all the BLE stuff you want on Artemis as-is - it just will take more time and effort to sort it out properly using HAL functions. There have been a few threads explaining this on the forum. We are also pretty close to releasing mbed for the Artemis - keep an eye out near the end of July.
