This is a one-stop shop for going from scratch to communicating (rudimentarily) with your iPhone or other Bluetooth client.
This video shows you how to:
1. Select and buy your Arduino board for Bluetooth connectivity.
2. Install which client app on your phone (to visualize the data you send it).
3. install the IDE app on your PC (to configure your board).
4. Import the necessary Libraries to make the IDE software work.
5. Compile and deploy the program that will connect to your phone.
6. Compile and deploy the program that reads accelerometer and gyro data.
This is NOT a programming lesson. When done per these instructions, you don't need to know any programming to conduct a proof-of-concept that you can extract meaningful data from the Nano's onboard sensors and/or to connect to your phone. Where you will need programming skill (beyond the scope of this video) is how to blend those two programs to send onboard sensor data to your phone. However, that can be done later.
There will be other challenges. How do I power the board using a battery (instead of the USB connector)? How do I package the board to install its sensors where I need them? etc.
Again, this is about taking you from the "pig staring at a wrist watch" phase of life to "cool, that worked" phase... After that, you define your own limits.
