How to connect Windows and Android applications with bluetooth.
Hi everyone,
I've a question, I would like to know if it's possible with Unity to create an android app which could communicate with an windows app (PC Standalone) with Bluetooth? And if yes, how?
It seems pretty simple, but I didn't find anything relevant, I just want to make an app (on an android tablet) with some buttons and when you click on those buttons something happen on the PC application. I found some stuffs with Wifi or USB, like Easy Wifi Controller, but nothing working with bluetooth.
Thanks, Sephis.

I don't know of a turnkey product like EWC is for WiFi on bluetooth, but there are a few low level bluetooth communication products on the store but they tend to focus on mobile since every mobile device has bluetooth built in. Not all PCs have it built in most require a USB adapter and on windows there are multiple bluetooth stacks so it complicates matters a bit.
It is definitely possible to do what you describe, but I don't know of any assets that will get you there much quicker, you'll have to create your own, and interface it to your own native bluetooth code unique to each platform. The premise would be the same as EWC though you are just using a different protocol for the wireless communication.
