A configurable keypad for controlling Bluetooth devices from a phone or tablet.
This is the full-featured version of Bluetooth Control Keypad that allows electronics experimenters, makers and other creative individuals to control their Bluetooth-enabled creations using an Android phone or tablet. I built this app so I could easily cut the cord and control my creations without wires. The app comes with three ready-to-use sample keypad layouts and gives you the ability to develop and save your own intuitive key layouts for transmitting ASCII characters (even non-printing characters) to your devices.
This app is a MUST for all developers looking for an easy intuitive way to control their custom Bluetooth-enabled devices. I've tried Bluetooth terminal apps ... but if you want an intuitive layout, you have to tailor your device commands to a standard keyboard. In addition, with a terminal app, all of the keys are on the screen all of the time ... and there is generally no way to send non-printing control characters.
This version has no advertisements, no sign-ups and works off-line. It has a simple, easy to use, interface. There is no limit on the number of keys you can define and you can save up to 50 custom key layouts. By purchasing this version, you will be supporting further development and future enhancements. The app has been tested on 7" tablets, small phones and large phones ... it all just seems to work. For more information, visit http://bluetoothkeypad.eclecticstudio.com.
This app was developed using MIT App Inventor 2. Thanks to MIT for picking up the project started by Google and released into the public domain.
