It was a long time ago, so I apologise for not having a very precise answer. From what I remember, the way you connect and communicate via bluetooth 2 to MacOS, iOS, Android and Windows was different. So you have to split your code for each of the 4 cases. For Android, if I remember correctly, the Port Name was just the name of the module itself (eg: "HC-05" or whatever you named your device to show up on your phone). Another alternative is to get the MAC address of your module and connect via mac — if you don't plan on mass manufacturing and it's just a one time project, MAC should be simpler and easier to manage. Good luck!

Hi, how did you get the serial communication between Android Unity app and an Arduino board using a HC-05 module? I want to achieve the exact same thing, but I don't know the portName for Android devices? How did you do it?

Hi Øyvind,

Thank you for the link. According to the response there, looks like I shouldn't have any limitations transfer wise. My current setup is sending out 16 bytes every 20ms — which is significantly less then what Stefan got in his test: 6 packages of 20 bytes every 15ms (7.5 ms rate, but with the confirmation it should be twice that).

Now I just need to figure out how to integrate it with Unity :)

Kind regard, Liviu

Hi,

Have a look at Stefans answer here, particularly the update.

Best regards,

Øyvind

Yes, that Unity :) I didn't realise the nRF work only in LE mode... does this mean that they won't be able to hold a steady stream of 10-16kbps ?

Note that nRF products are Bluetooth Smart (aka "Low-Energy" or "LE") only.

By "Unity", do you mean this: docs.unity3d.com/.../index.html ?
