Funny, but voted. I’ve recently seen a feature I voted for over two years ago completed. needless to say it was not needed anymore. We do not plan a project to last two years. If we cannot do it now with corona. we either move on to another platform which can support us or we abandon the project.

I understand the shift in priority since corona acquisition will take us even further away from adding pure functionality to corona in order to add better advertising oriented support for external users (corona cards). 

Given you priorities, the only other viable option for us is if we wish to continue using corona is to pay someone to develop it for us as a plugin or to move to enterprise which results in a much higher build and setup overhead than Pro. Not a happy thought.

I’m looking for a way to use Bluetooth connection as well. This should be a fairly easy plug-in to implement. The protocol to implement is quite simple - you need to register and listen to events or send info via iOS or Android API. There is no need to support specific SDKs. this can be accomplished as additional layer on top of the basic communication protocols.

So I am going to assume that no one has gone a head and made this plugin yet have they?

Here an is idea for a plugin for Bluetoothhttps://github.com/don/BluetoothSerial

@springmorning did you have any success connecting to Arduino via bluetooth?

I need to create a Windows Phone app that can communicate with a bluetooth component connected to the Arduino, It is a part of school project, they want us to create the app with C#, but i have permission to do it using Corona, thing is, i need to know if it’s feasible…

Any thing is possible with corona cards. Windows phone only works with corona cards anyways. If your asking if there is any way to do this with lua and corona library’s your out of luck and with have to do some coding in c or c++ or other native language.

If it doesn’t have to be Bluetooth I recommend this

Also you could try using sockets to communicate with Arduino

Thank you for the reply,

Im sorry in advance if i take this topic a bit… well… off topic.

Is it possible to create the full app using Corona, and only the bluetooth communication part do in c# (or c or c++)?

Can such thing be done with corona cards?

Roy. 

Yes
