There is much better non arduino hardware availanle, and far cheaper too. However getting anything to work with an unspecified peripheral may be more challenging than you imagine. | |

| Feb 22, 2016 at 7:29 | comment | added | Abhishek Bhatia | @ChrisStratton Why? Connect arduino to board via usb shield. Then read data and transmit via bluetooth module. Does this make sense? I am saying reading such tutorials online elsewhere. | |

@JayCarlson Given I have transmit only the location of the pointer that is (x,y). Two integers maybe every 0.5 secs. I don't think performance would be an issue. Can you provide more details on your solution.

| Feb 22, 2016 at 7:03 | comment | added | Jay Carlson | @ChrisStratton's answer is dead-on. USB is a unique half-duplex protocol typically carried over a single differential link; it has absolutely nothing to do with UART/TTL serial/RS-232/whatever, so typically BT serial modules are out of the question. You may be able to build a hub device that would re-packetize the USB stream to then send/receive over a bluetooth radio, but you'd run into severe performance issues (Bluetooth EDR tops out at 3 Mbps), and such a complex system would require more skill than I anticipate you have, given the generality of your question. | |
| Feb 22, 2016 at 6:41 | comment | added | Chris Stratton | Generally speaking, you can't do this. You might be able to find an off the shelf USB wireless bridge, but that is quite uncommon. More typically you would replace the "device" with something similar intentionally designed to operate via bluetooth (you do know you can buy bluetooth mice, right?). Going to more difficulty, you could host this mystery USB peripheral on an embedded system sophisticated enough to talk to it, relay the data back via bluetooth, wifi, or whatever, and then patch it into the consuming software. None of the general solutions are on topic here, only detailed specifics | |
