I am new to the Embedded and Bluetooth world and I need some help in getting started with my design.
I want to design an embedded system that includes a front panel keypad for control/configuration and an LED display to monitor some of the system parameters.
I have a couple of questions:
- Can I use a Bluetooth Smart module (embedded in the system) to control/configure and monitor the system through a Smartphone? i.e., I want to implement the similar functionality of the front panel through a smartphone.
- Which Bluetooth profile can I use to implement my design?
- Are there any similar example applications available for reference?

Absolutely! I often design my user interfaces to run on an Android device. The actual hardware becomes much simpler (and cheaper) if you dont need LEDs, displays and switches.
What you need is a bluetooth serial module (google for Linvor). These are extremely easy to use, and are reasonably cheap.
