Sending MBot sensed values to host

#1

I want to develop a prototype taking advantage of MBot included sensors (light, temperature and so on).

Sensor values should be sent from MBot to a host. How can I do this?

For example: can I invoke a REST (or web) service, or write a remote file?

As an alternative, I could query MBot’s sensors from the remote host.

Your help will be greatly appreciated!

It is just a guess that you want to use a WiFi module.
Option 1: http://store.makeblock.com/me-wifi-module
Option 2: WiFi (esp8266) robot

Thanks, but actually the idea is to leverage existing bluetooth communication and send sensed values to some place outside the robot.

You could expand the following example … it uses an Android phone as a gateway, but that would also work on a PC.

Thanks Andreas. As I see it, this relies on a prebuilt layer for Android. I don’t know if that exists for Linux/Windows or if I need to program that from scratch, in C.
