High-power Bluetooth Communication
Hello all!
You may have seen my project in #projects-and-self-promotion, but if you didn't, here's a quick explanation. My project, named Sledscreen, is a 7" touchscreen "tablet" replacement dashboard for a snowmobile. The current Sledscreen prototype hardware runs off a Raspberry Pi 5 ( Raspbian / Linux ) running a custpm Electron GUI with pure Javascript. The system features a map, this is where I need assistance. I need to integrate a high-power Bluetooth system for communication between Sledscreen devices, this will allow for location sharing between the dashboards, ultimately so you can see your friends location on the map.
I have never worked with Bluetooth at all and I definitely need help implementing this into my project, and assistance choosing high-power Bluetooth hardware that will allow for long-distance communications.
Another Bluetooth function I need to implement is communication with a cellphone, music controls, phone controls, notifications and more.
Thanks for any help.
