Connecting AS7263 Raspberry Pi Zero for bluetooth to Android Phone

Hello: I would like to connect AS7263 to either Raspberry Pi Zero or Arduino (with Bluetooth) to send spectral readings to Android phone via Bluetooth.

Can you please guide

  1. if this is doable?

  2. Will the drivers be supported?

  3. What other parts would I need to purchase?

Thank you, Ananth

Hi Ananth,

This project is definitely doable but we do not have any documentation to help sending the data via Bluetooth to a phone. The only example code we have is our [Arduino Library so if you wanted to use a Raspberry Pi, you would need to write your own code.

The library is set up to print serial data of the readings so you could send that data via Bluetooth fairly easily. There are several apps out there to create a serial terminal on your phone so you could start with that.](GitHub - sparkfun/SparkFun_AS7265x_Arduino_Library: An Arduino library for the trifecta of spectral sensors covering 18 discrete wavelengths from NIR to UV.)
