Muscle Sensor v3 Kit
Bluetooth Modem - BlueSMiRF HID
Beefcake Relay Control Kit
DC Motor
My goal is to have the muscle sensor kit wired up with an arduino mini and bluesmirf up on someones arm that can send down an input to another arduino hooked up with a beefcake relay control kit and a strong dc motor.
System 1(Based off Muscle Mouse):
6 triple A batteries,
Muscle sensor Kit V3
Bluetooth -bluesmirf-HID
Arduino mini
System 2:
Arduino R3
Bluetooth-bluesmirf-HID
Beefcake relay-DC MOTOR
System 1's muscle sensors will send a signal down to System 2 which will activate the relay and power a strong DC motor.
Questions.
1. Do I need the bluesmirf-HID modules for this? I know HID is great for hooking up to computers, but for arduino to arduino are there cheaper options?
2. Can the beefcake relay use PWM from one of the Arduino R3 pins to control the current(speed) of the DC motor?
Thanks, I'm really new to this and for a first project this is a lot to bite off. I've been reading a lot of tutorials and watching a lot of videos, the questions I posted are things I couldn't quite get cleared up through the videos/articles I saw.
