How do I make a proper long string scanner to detect specific tags in a stream of characters?

Another option is to not save the characters in buffer but instead check each one as they arrive to see if the character is the next in the tag sequence. This has the advantage that you don't need a ...

What is a flag in programming Arduino?

I've always used flag to indicate a boolean logic value. I would also suggest this is an archaic term. Was going to come up with my own explanation but found the following at In C language, what does ...

Getting Bluetooth addresses of connected devices via Arduino Uno?

The HC-05 has an AT command, AT+BIND?, that will tell you which slave device it is connected with currently. Since you can connect to one device only at the same time, your array is going to be a very ...

SPP-C and HC-05 are they the same thing or something else?

In theory they are the same and have the same capabilities. Practically they are not. With SPP-C you get twice the headache for half the price as for HC-05. In had to find it out the hard way Sending ...

Connecting a servo via HC05 and HC06

You cannot. You will need an Arduino at the servo end to generate the PWM signal from serial instructions sent over Bluetooth. Since PWM is (typically) 8-bit and serial is (typically) 8-bit you could ...

How to setup HC05 Module to be distinguishable

Your options are: As you guessed, you could set the name with AT+NAME=, and only use the names matching some pattern. It would work if you're only user so you just want to ignore other BT devices, ...

How do I connect through a HC-05 to PS4 Controller?

The HC-05 uses the Bluetooth Serial Port profile (SPP). The PS4 controller doesn't. Hence you need something that is capable of using the same profile that the PS4 controller uses (HID?). And to ...

Can you help me trim my code?

I assume you mean that are running short of flash memory, rather than RAM. I base this assumption on the fact that you say that it's 99% full, and that this “is not very troublesome”. Filling 99% of ...

Problems connecting reliably using HC-05 (as bluetooth master)

I am using a "BIND" between the PAIR and LINK: AT+PAIR=98D3,31,FC2D54,5 AT+BIND=98D3,31,FC2D54 AT+LINK=98D3,31,FC2D54 That seems to work for me. See the docs here: ftp://imall.iteadstudio.com/...

is it possible to write two threads in arduino & switch between data & AT command mode dynamically?

You can switch between command and "online" modes, but you cannot use both at once. While in command mode you can't be receiving data, and while in online mode you can't be sending commands. You ...

Receiving serial characters is partially done in hardware and partially in the Arduino firmware. The only thing you need to do here is: - check if you've received a full message. - handle the message (...

HC-05 emit data without pairing

No. The HC-05 has to be paired. It runs on Bluetooth 2.x which requires pairing. What you want is BLE (or Bluetooth 4.x) which has various "beacon" facilities.

HC-05 and p-channel mosfet

That's not a good choice of MOSFET I'm afraid. The on resistance is quoted as 14Ω when the gate is at -10V - however, you are only able to get -5V, so it will be considerably worse. That massive on ...
