Description
Dabble is a versatile project interaction & Bluetooth controller app for Arduino, ESP32 & evive that replaces a wide variety of electronic components and exploits the inbuilt features and sensors of your Smartphone like the GPS, mic & accelerometer thus transforming into a virtual treasury of infinite shields & more. It lets you control & communicate with hardware via Bluetooth. It also provides you with dedicated projects compatible with Scratch & Arduino to help you learn by doing.
What Dabble has in store:
Currently Available Modules:
• LED Brightness Control: Control brightness of LEDs and digital/analog pins.
• Terminal: Send and receive textual and voice commands over Bluetooth.
• Gamepad: Control devices/robot in analog (Joystick), digital, and accelerometer mode.
• Pin State Monitor: Remotely monitor the live status of devices and debug them.
• Phone Sensor: Access different sensors of your Smartphone such as the accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity sensor, magnetometer, light meter, sound meter, GPS, temperature sensor, and barometer to make projects and conduct experiments.
Coming Soon:
• Motor Control (Coming Soon): Control actuators such as the DC motor and servo motor.
• Inputs (Coming Soon): Provide analog and digital inputs via buttons, knobs, and switches.
• Camera (Coming Soon): Use the camera of your Smartphone for taking photos, record videos, colour picking, and face recognition (coming soon).
• IoT (Coming Soon): Log data, publish it on cloud, and access data from API.
• Oscilloscope (Coming Soon): Visualize and analyse the input and output signals given to the device using the oscilloscope module.
• Music (Coming Soon): Receive commands from the device and play tones, songs, or other recorded audio files on your Smartphone.
• Projects (Coming Soon): Make dedicated projects to experience different concepts of the real world first-hand like home automation, line-follower, and robotic arm.

Ratings and Reviews
One issue, but best for iOS…
The one issue that I had was with the joystick. Pressing one of the action buttons on the right would reset the values for the joystick while I was still holding it in a given direction. Once the button was released it no longer recognized the joystick value until I moved it in a different direction. This had the unwanted effect of resetting the position of my servos each time I pressed an action button.
Other than this, I haven’t had any other problems with what seems to be a well-made app.
Works pretty well
This seems to work pretty well to drive our arduino robot via an iPhone. Does seem to lag a little and sometimes the robot continues to move even if we aren’t touching the iPhone.
Great for teaching kids coding
Our robotics team has use this app for our Bluetooth connection to our robots that we built. I really love the gamepad interface, and the terminal interface has also helped in debugging problems. We are using the DX-BT16 Bluetooth module that comes with the ELEGOO car.
