Moteino bluetooth bridge

[raul.abraham1]

Hi, im interested in starting a project in which I would intercept data from a 915mhz transmitter I would like to use a moteino to do this since its such a functional board, but I need to bridge the data to a smartphone which has to be via low power bluetooth, has anyone done this before?
Best regards...

I' ve done both separately, but not together.  If you're using Moteino for the 915 side of the network, an Arduino type device like RFDuino might be a good choice for the BLE side.  The RFDuino has a lot going for it EXCEPT I/O pins.  Moteino makes up for that.

RFDuino has GOBS of memory, Moteino has... uh, well, we won't talk about that - again, complementary.

RFDuino can be I2C or SPI Master or Slave, again, Moteino can be the Master.  Some bit of work communicating between the two, but I'll wager that the bulk of the programming effort is on the Smartphone side, not the device/gateway side.  PM me if you want to discuss details.

Thanks for your answer, I need it to be in the same board  I dont want to use 2 boards, anyway I realized the frequency of the transmitter (the device that I need to intercept) is in the 916.7MHz frequency, the moteino isnt compatible with that right?
These are the specs:
916.7MHz
modulation is ASK/OOK
Data rate is 16kBaud
Best regards...

I suggest that you check the RFM69 datasheet.  I suspect that it is perfectly capable of meeting the 916.7MHz data requirement.  As to "two boards", have you seen how small the RFDuino is (not the 'shield', but the actual radio module)?  It is smaller than the RFM69 radio and is a complete processor/radio module.  It is possible to find a smaller device but it won't be possible to find a device with a better performance/size ratio (in BLE).

Thanks Tom, about the "two boards", I didnt undestand the first time, now I see that you suggest to connect the RFduino to the moteino by I2C or SPI, thanks for your advice.
I read the RFM69 data sheet and I see that the Synthesizer Frequency Range is 890 to 1020 MHz, but I dont know how to change it do you?

I would search the web for "RFM ASK OOK arduino library".  I've seen references to a number of weather station related implementations but haven't personally used them.
