Why? My Samsung has Bluetooth internally. It is how I communicate and pair with my Bluetooth devices. Have you tried it to pair with your Arduino? Your S21 probably has the same feature as my A13. It can also be accessed using system settings.
When I attempt to pair to the S21 it tells me that it is unable to pair and to check settings for the device and try again. i am assuming that has something to do with the code i wrote to program. It does connect on the other app though. So I am really not sure what is going on
Thank you for this. I am going to review this and make some changes and see what I can do!
Will this work with the Nano 33 BLE. It says its specific to the iot
(added to FAQ)
@ewpatton do you know if the setup of our blocks are correct? Do they have to be in a specific order?
The BLE extension's logic is that you:
- Scan for nearby devices--internally this populates the BLE's device list
- Connect to a device at a given index--usually you'd do this by populating a list view with the BLE's device list and then let the user choose.
- Send/receive data with the connected device
As I previously mentioned, I don't see how you're informing the user of the list of nearby devices and that's likely getting you into trouble since the device list may not be populated yet depending on the scan frequency, etc. of the device
Ok thank you. I will make some changes and see what I can do
As I mentioned already, it might be good to go through the tutorial I linked just to get a basic connection going. Once you know that works, then you can take what you've learned and translate it into your existing app.
Yes I will do that. Thank you
I am trying to establish just a bluetooth connection to my phone and I keep getting an error code ErrorError 9101 and I removed all the other blocks just get the connection. Is there something with the way I am trying to establish a connection based on these blocks?
@ewpatton So the exact error message is Error 3300: Error 9101 extension BluetoothLE: Expected device index between 1 and 0. Any idea based on the blocks send what it could be?

Build the APK, upload it to Google Drive and post the link (or post the aia).
@Anke i was able to locate my device with the dummy application you provided. Now can I add those blocks to my previous app and it will work the same?
@Anke could you review my code and tell why I cant connect my Galaxy S21 to the ARduino without using a third party app to connect it?
