Hobby project - Bluetooth device

Click For Summary
A sophomore is seeking guidance on a side engineering project involving a Bluetooth button that alerts their smartphone when pressed. They aim to enhance their resume and potentially develop this into a senior project. The discussion highlights the importance of starting with a programmable Bluetooth module that can be triggered by the button. A suggestion is made to use HAYES AT commands for communication. The conversation emphasizes the need for resources and direction to begin this project effectively.

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for my question. If it's not, I am kindly requesting some assistance as to which website/forum to go to.
Here's my question:

I'm a sophomore and I'm trying to do a side engineering project to put on my resume and maybe eventually turn it into a senior project years from now.

Basically, I want to create a button whereby if i press the button, I get an alert on my smartphone. I'm not sure where exactly I'm going with this eventually but this is just a start for me.

My question is: how do I begin? I know I want the communication to be via bluetooth. Is there any website that can point me to the right direction.

I appreciate your help and once again, I deeply apologize if this is not the right place for my question.

The most straightforwards way to do this is send a message to the phone using HAYES AT commands. You would need a programmable bluetooth module to be triggered by your button.
 
Thanks!
 
What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
