Bluetooth Connectivity

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2640

Hi, a team and I are currently working on a senior design project tasked with building a delivery hovercraft. We have chosen the InstaSPIN - FOC enabled C2000 Piccolo LaunchPad to be the best MCU for the task of driving the motors we will be using on the craft. We aim to have it controlled via a remote control and are at a loss for how to do this with bluetooth  this MCU. 1) Is it possible to do this with this MCU? and 2) What would be the best way to accomplish this task?

    Hi Scott,

    1) Yes, it is possible. We have worked on a similar concept within the C2000 group and have achieved wireless control.

    2) In order to accomplish this, you will need some dedicated wireless chip to handle the bluetooth link you want to implement, and you will need to establish some form of communication between said chip and the C2000. I recommend the CC2640, which is our ultra-low power bluetooth chip. 



    Best regards,

    Hi Scott,

    I would like to suggest another alternate wherein your master controller ie C2000 in this case can communicate with ready-made Bluetooth modules through UART, SPI or I2C. They work really well and are quick solutions to test the feature out. I won't say rigid but atleast you can test the wireless feature within couple of days to get the feel :)
