Hi,
I have an idea for a project, to control my car's key fob with an arduino. As I wait for the bluetooth module to arrive, I thought I could write up similar code in Processing. I'm using this
page as a reference. In it, the bluetooth module is given a command to start looking for bluetooth devices. Once a device is found, the unique ID is cross-referenced against a variable, if it matches the code continues.
I'm on a mac and it seems there is no easy way to scan for bluetooth devices (by their unique address, I know I can run Serial.list() to find an already configured port by name). Has anyone tried to do this with processing? I just thought I'd be able to substitute my computer's bluetooth antenna as a serial port, but I guess not...
