    Is it possible to read battery info of an Android with an Arduino via Bluetooth without an external app on the Android side .

    For example . Bluetooth connection to a cars media player shows battery life , signal strength ,etc....

      @vijayvarghese The answer is "NO". If my guess is correct, you might have misunderstood the working of Classic Bluetooth and Bluetooth Low Energy(BLE). You cannot acquire battery percentages, RAM usage directly just by connecting HC-05 to Arduino and connecting it to mobile phones. Because our mobile phones don't share any characteristics to outside just through Bluetooth.

      The example of car which you have stated is just applicable to the automobile field. If you are able to read the battery percentage, signal strength kind of parameters that means that the car's BLE has been programmed with those characteristics to be displayed. To be simple, it means that the Bluetooth inside the car has been given permission to display those. It depends upon the BLE configuration used and security levels. You cannot access any parameters from mobile phone just with Arduino and HC-05 Bluetooth module.

      If you want to learn more about this please read the post in makergram named "Automatic pairing of ESP32 using BLE" where @salmanfaris has given a detailed explanation of how BLE works. If you want to work out how BLE's work, try connecting your MI Band(Or any smart wrist bands) to the nRF Connect Mobile app(Can be found in play store for free). Try seeing what parameters are displayed. please write back in case of queries.!!

          Signal Hunt: An ESP-NOW Workshop & Treasure Hunt

          Hello everyone! We’re planning on organizing a two-phase event that explores device-to-device communication using ESP-NOW protocol :

          Workshop: Participants learn to build and program ESP32-based receivers with a web interface that directly exchange signal data using ESP-NOW for RSSI-based distance approximation.

          Signal Hunt Competition: Equipped with these receivers, participants will track hidden ESP32 transmitters scattered around the campus, each with distinct point values.

          Current hardware setup:
          Reciever(one per team):
          Esp32 ~ 360rs
          9v battery = 20rs
          9v battery clip= 5rs
          buck converter (MP1584 or LM2596) ~ 45rs
          Perfboard + male to female berg strip ~30rs
          Total per reciever ~ 460rs
          Transmitters :6
          Components same as recievers = 460*6~2760rs

          (using non-rechargeable batteries to reduce cost,
          will using a 7805 voltage regulator IC be a viable way to reduce cost further?)

          We’d love your suggestions on ways to simplify hardware, reducing the cost, secure partnerships and funding, or enhance the interactive elements. Thank you, looking forward to any ideas that can help make the event engaging and successful!

          I am trying to set up a janus webrtc to stream an RTSP to an HTML page.
          I have followed the getting-started steps by Janus-gateway official github repo.

          Since I am new to web development. I do not understand how to host the Webrtc server. can anyone guide me to set up an HTML page that can display a video stream from an RTSP server using janus webrtc?

        • @zainmuhammed Can try capturing the GPS when the device is starting the loop instead after joining the LoRaWAN and see?

          You can put the GPS value on top of the loop or setup function.

          Also, what kind of gateway are you using? Is it configured okay, OTA is done?

        • @salmanfaris Today I tried after connecting a 18650 cell,
          WhatsApp Image 2024-04-12 at 10.40.06_c7d1947e.jpg WhatsApp Image 2024-04-12 at 10.40.05_897b8bb6.jpg
          Data getting in console after integration of both lora and gps.
          3f45cfe7-0061-4328-8c55-ef0a73385203-image.png
          here you can see that GPS value is 0,0. also in my previous post you can see that GPS value is not reading.
          Also the status LED is active after it is connected to the satellite.

        • Hi @zainmuhammed ,

          Can you share the GPS and LoRa output when it’s working?

          Also can try capturing the GPS when the device is starting the loop instead after joining the LoRaWAN and see?

          Also make sure the device provides have enough to modules. The GPS need more power when you cold start.
