To Scrap the App or Not To Scrap the App? - WORKING WITH BLUETOOTH

As the weeks wind down, the team is deciding whether they should ditch the mobile application for android or continue working on it. It is currently week 6 out of 10 and so far our programmers have only set up the environment for the application. Unless 24/7 effort is put for the application, it will most likely not be complete.

Hence, one of the members is working with bluetooth via laptop connection to work with the arduino and pulse band for now as an alternative.

On the official Arduino's website, there are tutorials that help our project succeed:

One of the items required was a bluetooth modem along with the code required.
