Bluetooth Programming

[areeb]

Hello people!

1) I am new to Bluetooth programming. I have read the book that explains socket programming using Python and C language which I understand to some extent. Now what should be the next step?

2) Secondly, I have seen people transfer data using Arduino board and bluetooth module but they don't use sockets code. In that they use some Arduino code from the manual (setup and loop functions) and Visual Studio code using forms application.

My question is how are these two methods different? Your help is of great importance and is appreciated.
Thanks!

Generally people who uses bluetooth makes use of Bluetooth modules with bluetooth SPP profile support. You can say it like a wireless UART. If you need to make use of bluetooth you need to understand which profile you are going to use. For bluetooth SPP you can just access it as COM port on PC host machine.
