Hi AXErs,
I'm looking to make a project where you take a PICAXE and connect it to some kind of Bluetoth TX board etc. When someone gets close to the BT(in range) the kit will try and send them a message (vCard maybe?) or perhaps a picture which has a code in it like "S37 01.111 E144 12.345".
I know a reasonable amount about electronics and data networking fundamentals but a bit stuck on the magic of BT internals.. I would like to be able to make it such that when a person is nearby, if their phone is set to allow picture/vcard etc - i.e. open or verbose mode.. that it will just go beep beep and they look to see they have received a message etc - then the message contains the code.
I can't recall if with BT it's possible to just send a message, or picture to ANY device say every 5 minutes or so.. that way, if you are nearby, you'll get it.
appreciate all ideas!!
Thanks
