Nrf51822 is a BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) module allows micro:bit to send and receive Bluetooth signals.  We can use the built-in bluetooth module to communicate with the mobile phone’s APP, thereby using the APP to control external devices connected to the micro:bit control board.

• 1 x BBC micro:bit board
• 1 x Micro USB cable
• 1 x 9V battery
• 1 x OSOYOO photon robot
• 1 x Android smartphone or tablet

Bluetooth® is a wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances (using short-wavelength UHF radio waves in the ISM band from 2.4 to 2.485 GHz[3]) from fixed and mobile devices, and building personal area networks (PANs). We can use Bluettoth to connect multiple devices which resolves the difficulty of simultanuous data transmission.

Block	Analyse	Examples
	From Bluetooth category On Bluetooth Connected block starts an event handler which in this case will run when something connects to your micro:bit using Bluetooth.
	From Bluetooth category On Bluetooth Disconnected block starts an event handler which in this case will run when a device which is connected to your micro:bit over Bluetooth disconnects. You could use this event handler to display a letter “D” on the micro:bit LED grid so you know that the Bluetooth connection has been closed.
	From control category Raise an event in the event bus.
	From control category Get the value of the last event executed on the bus.
	From control category Return a code representing the type of the event (button click, device gesture, and so on).

Before programming, you need to install the Bluetooth APP to your phone. (This app only support Android)

1)  Open your phone browser and download the APP apk file from: http://osoyoo.com/driver/micro_bit_Blue_v1.5.1.apk, and then install the APP in your phone. (As the APP from google play removes some functions and can’t control the robot, we test this V1.5.1 version APP to control the robot)

Note: When you meet some error after download the APK file through browser, please visit our link how to enable APK installs on your Android device

2) Please downlaod the bluetooth test code in your computer. Connect the micro:bit with the computer through USB cable, and the computer will pop up a U disk and send the download file(.hex)to your micro:bit.

3) Pair micro:bit board with your phone as following:

4) You can test the function such as “Accelerometer”, “LEDs”, “Temperature”, ” Device Information” and Animal Magic” after upload the test code.

In this project, we’ll use “Dual D-Pad Controller” function from APP to control OSOYOO robot car. Let’s begin to program.
