Hi Pete,

The android application is programed only to connect with devices named as "HC-05". If you are having a HC-06 then there are two thing that you can do to make it work.

Renaming Bluetooth module:

Yes, renaming the Bluetooth module will work but you cant do it form your phone. The HC-06 has to operatign modes, you have to get into the command mode and use AT commands to rename the Bluetooth module.

Changing the processing sketch:

 Other option would be to change the code, find the name "HC-05" in the code and simply replace it with HC-06. This will make the application to connect to any device that has the name HC-06. But you should set up the Processing android mode in your computer to be able to compile and upload the program.

If you are in a hurry the easiest way it to get a HC-05 itself, I think you can easily fin one in your hardware store. 

Thanks for your help, much appreciated, I ordered an HC-05 which arrived the other day. It pairs with my Samsung S8 but the app doesn't display data. I have had flu so maybe my brain is  missing something silly.

OK, I now have an HC-05 and an HC-06.

I pair the HC-05 and see it on my S8 Bluetooth as "DSD TECH HC-05", not simply "HC-05".

I guess that might be why the inclinometer program will not see it.

I have the circuit running and the Arduino program on my laptop showing pitch, roll, yaw, temp info scrolling on the ftdi terminal window.

I found a bluetooth terminal program and run it on the S8 paired with the HC-05. Set to ASCII it looks like gibberish but HEX seems to produce data that changes if I move the board various ways. Numbers and letters scroll up.

I'm not sure if I should see the data the same as the laptop over the FTDI terminal window.

I'm stumbling along the best I can which means I'm learning, so that's good.

I'm supposing I'm going to have to figure put how to get the name changed to HC-05 with AT command mode.
