How to install Bluetooth 4.0 BLE for arduino on Windows?

Instruction on how to install Bluetooth 4.0 BLE for arduino on Windows 10 Windows 11 PC & Laptop

In this post, I am going to show you how to install Bluetooth 4.0 BLE for arduino on Windows PC by using Android App Player such as BlueStacks, LDPlayer, Nox, KOPlayer, ...

Before you start, you will need to download the APK/XAPK installer file, you can find download button on top of this page. Save it to easy-to-find location.

[Note] You can also download older versions of this app on bottom of this page.

Below you will find a detailed step-by-step guide, but I want to give you a fast overview of how it works. All you need is an emulator that will emulate an Android device on your Windows PC and then you can install applications and use it - you see you're playing it on Android, but this runs not on a smartphone or tablet, it runs on a PC.

If this doesn't work on your PC, or you cannot install, comment here and we will help you!

Step By Step Guide To Install Bluetooth 4.0 BLE for arduino using BlueStacks

  1. Download and Install BlueStacks at: https://www.bluestacks.com. The installation procedure is quite simple. After successful installation, open the Bluestacks emulator. It may take some time to load the Bluestacks app initially. Once it is opened, you should be able to see the Home screen of Bluestacks.

If your APK/XAPK file doesn't automatically open BlueStacks, right-click on it and select Open with... Browse to the BlueStacks. You can also drag-and-drop the APK/XAPK file onto the BlueStacks home screen
  3. Once installed, click "Bluetooth 4.0 BLE for arduino" icon on the home screen to start using, it'll work like a charm :D

[Note 1] For better performance and compatibility, choose BlueStacks 5 Nougat 64-bit read more

[Note 2] about Bluetooth: At the moment, support for Bluetooth is not available on BlueStacks. Hence, apps that require control of Bluetooth may not work on BlueStacks.

How to install Bluetooth 4.0 BLE for arduino on Windows PC using NoxPlayer

  1. Download & Install NoxPlayer at: https://www.bignox.com. The installation is easy to carry out.
  2. Drag the APK/XAPK file to the NoxPlayer interface and drop it to install
  3. The installation process will take place quickly. After successful installation, you can find "Bluetooth 4.0 BLE for arduino" on the home screen of NoxPlayer, just click to open it.

Discussion

(*) is required

Note: Your device must be compatible to bluetooth 4.0, must be android version 4.3 or higher.
Control an arduino / genuino sending data as 123, abc. This app have predetermined ON/OFF, 6
Control 1 sends variable (1) ON, (0)OFF;
control 2 (3)ON, (2)OFF;
control 3 (5)ON, (4)OFF;
control 4 (7)ON, (6)OFF;
control5 (9)ON, (8)OFF.
To custom labels and String send values check the App "Control for arduino bluetooth 4.0 "

-you can send your own variables. Send a combination to turn ON /OFF 2 or more pins at the same time, for example write 159 and click "send" to Turn ON the pins assigned to those variable.
- Compatible to bluetooth4.0 hm-10 module
- You can use a simple sketch.
Be sure the bluetooth in your device is on, then click on "Select bluetooth" .
Next time you open the app if it is available it will connect to the last ble module you selected

SKETCH 1 USING SOFTWARE.SERIAL LIBRARY

#include SoftwareSerial.h

int Tx = 3; // BLE TX Connect to arduino pin 3. For arduino mega check the PIN compatibles for tx,rx

SKETCH 2 USING ARDUINO TX, RX PINS

// Connect BLE TX to Arduino RX
// Connect BLE RX to Arduino TX, it works in arduino uno, for other arduino model test this connection or

Fixing "out of memory" error.
bluetooth reads up to 6 digits from arduino
example:
Serial.print((byte)temperature);
Serial.print((byte)humidity);
mybluetooth.print((byte)temperature);
mybluetooth.print((byte)humidity);
Allows applications to connect to paired bluetooth devices.
Allows applications to open network sockets.
Allows access to the vibrator.
Allows applications to access information about Wi-Fi networks.
Allows applications to discover and pair bluetooth devices.
Allows applications to access information about networks.
