Nordic Thingy Bluetooth Speaker Control

Dear Nordic Development community,

I have a very interesting project going on based on bluetooth speaker controls.

In short words, i'd like to control the sound level of a speaker by Nordic Thingy's 9-axis accelerometer. For example, if you lift the Thingy from its original position the sound should go up, and if you lower down the Thingy the sound level should go down.

However, the Thingy is a barely new product and I couldn't manage to understand how to send the sensor output data to an another bluetooth device or a micro controller (Arduino+Bluetooth shield) apart from the smartphone.

Basically, I'd like to read the sensor output data from the Thingy by Arduino+Bluetooth shield in order to use for controlling the audio level of a speaker.

Thank you very much,

Erke

PS: One other important topic is the question of stream pairing. For example, i would like to use the Nordic Thingy as a medium for pairing the audio streaming source (Smartphone, PC or any bluetooth device) and an another bluetooth speaker.

  • Thank you for the quick answers. The main question is as you summed up how to transfer sensor data from the thingy to arduino. For the scope of the project the bluetooth control is more important than controlling the sound. To be more clear, i only need to show the motion control capabilities of the Thingy. For example, if i lift the thingy, arduino should recognize it and should show the appropiate output (in this case lighting up an LED is also enough)
