Has anyone ever worked with programming a Bluetooth module?
Hello have a nice weekend guys 😌, Has anyone ever worked with programming a Bluetooth module? I would like the Arduino to calculate the distance between the Bluetooth module it powers and a nearby phone .
Thanks

Hi @Camila_99$$ check with Bluetooth5.1 compatible chip that allow distance and direction finding through AOA (Angle of Arrival) and AOD (Angle of Departure). I think the Nordic has some SoCs with example codes and documentation.

RSSI is the signal strength at the Bluetooth receiver. The signal type, for example, iBeacon, Eddystone or sensor beacon is irrelevant. The value of the RSSI can be used to infer distance.

How to Calculate Distance from the RSSI value of the BLE Beacon
I am sure many people are working on the BLE technology and even on the projects like Indoor Location Positioning, distance approximation from the RSSI value of the BLE beacon. This Article is shor…
