Warpy55 Posted October 9 Report Share Posted October 9 I, I have a compound bench saw which has a Bluetooth transmitter for turning a Bluetooth vacuum cleaner off and on to collect dust. I don't have a Bluetooth enabled vacuum cleaner. The question is what would I need to build to turn on a relay when I start the saw which will output a Bluetooth signal. I guess it will be a microcontroller (Arduino) that has a Bluetooth add-on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryA Posted October 9 Report Share Posted October 9 There is some good information on using Arduino boards and Bluetooth in the Arduino Cookbook. It can be download free from; Cookbook One can use a Bluetooth enabled PC for testing I believe. The pairing address from the table saw would be needed I gather. The Arduino board to the vacuum cleaner can be done with a simple transistor circuit driving a relay as an on/off switch. If you need further help do not be afraid to ask.
