Our review

🔍 **Course Overview:**The course in question offers insights into the interaction between Arduino and smartphone technology, primarily focusing on Bluetooth communication. It aims to guide learners through the process of sending data from an Arduino to a smartphone, utilizing the SoftwareSerial library.**Pros:**

– **Content Richness & Value:** The course content is described as rich and valuable, providing learners with substantial information. This indicates that the course covers a wide range of topics related to Arduino and smartphone communication, which can be beneficial for beginners or those looking to solidify their understanding of these technologies.

– **Effort Appreciation:** The effort put into creating the course is acknowledged by some learners, suggesting that despite other issues, there was a genuine intention to produce educational material.

**Cons:**

– **Technical Accuracy & Precision:**
– The course lacks depth in explaining the connection and communication between the Android phone and the Arduino board, which is critical for a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter.
– There is uncertainty regarding the necessity of a TTL converter when using the HS05 module, which could lead to confusion or potential damage if not addressed correctly.
– The schematic provided in the course may contain an error as it shows the Rxd pin of the HC-05 module connected directly to the Arduino, which could potentially damage the module since it operates at 3.3V and the Arduino may be operating at a different voltage level.

– **Language & Presentation:**
– The language used in some parts of the course is reported to contain spelling errors, which affects the course’s credibility and professionalism.
– The course’s documentation, specifically the readme file in .md format, may require a special application to be accessible, which could be an inconvenience for learners who are not equipped to handle such formats.

– **Real-world Application & Practicality:**
– Learners expect to see a fully functional project demonstrating the Arduino and smartphone application working together in real-time. The absence of this could limit the learner’s ability to see practical applications of the skills taught.
– The course is deemed too basic by some learners, suggesting that it may not challenge more experienced users and that similar information can be found for free online, making the course’s value questionable for those with intermediate or advanced knowledge.

– **Recommendation & Target Audience:**
– The course is recommended only for individuals with a low level of knowledge in this area, as it may not provide enough depth for learners who are already familiar with the basics.
– It is suggested that beginners might benefit from this course and should consider taking an introductory Arduino course if they have not done so already, to ensure a solid foundation before tackling the material in this course.

**Global Course Rating:** 3.40/5

**Summary:**
The course offers valuable insights into Bluetooth communication between Arduino and smartphones but falls short in various areas including technical accuracy, language clarity, and practical demonstration. It is most suitable for beginners or those with a basic understanding of the technologies involved. For more experienced learners, it is recommended that they seek additional resources to complement this course for a comprehensive learning experience.

What is Bluetooth?

Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances (using short-wavelength UHF radio waves in the ISM band from 2.400 to 2.485 GHz) from fixed and mobile devices, and building personal area networks (PANs). Invented by Dutch electrical engineer Jaap Haartsen, working for telecom vendor Ericsson in 1994, it was originally conceived as a wireless alternative to RS-232 data cables.

Bluetooth is a standard wire-replacement communications protocol primarily designed for low power consumption. It has a short range based on low-cost transceiver microchips in each device. Because the devices use a radio (broadcast) communications system, they do not have to be in visual line of sight of each other. Range is power-class-dependent, but effective ranges vary in practice.
