Hello Philippe,

No, but you would need to write a custom version of the Lambda Shield 2 smartphone code.

Thanks Christian...
seems to be a too hard job for now... unless someone has ever done it ...

You are right. To make it as simple as possible for you we ended up using the Arduino Uno WiFi with bluetooth module integrated.

Hi Christian,
finally got a genuine wifi rev2 arduino board,
I tried to upload the smartphone.ino, but got an error message :

Compilation error: text section exceeds available space in board

any idea ?

Hi Philippe, Arduino updated the BLE library so it is currently too big. I need to optimize the code but for now please use the older version. See troubleshooting section below for details.

6. If you get an error with code size on Arduino Uno WiFi, use ArduinoBLE library v.1.2.2.

Ok, understand, thanks for the quick feedback, I'll do that

Hi Christian
The system is working now, thanks for the support, however, the bluetooth led is not blinking on the Arduino rev2 , is it normal ?
Best regards
Philippe

Hi Philippe,

I had to do some investigation on this, it is correct that the RGB-LED is not used in bluetooth mode. This is controlled by Arduino, otherwise it could have been a useful feature to add. The LED is apparently only used in wifi mode.

Arduino WiFi Rev2 RGB control.

How did youget your smarthpone-connection with 1.2.2 running? With this old lib-version i´m unable to connect to the device (but found in scan) neither with a simple example code. 1.3.4 works everything fine but then the example size is ~1KB too big to upload.
