bluetooth transmission

I im really new to arduino and i just want to ask a few questions.

Is it possible to program an arduino board to accept an input connection from a flash drive?

If so, is it possible to transfer the files in the flash drive to a computer over a bluetooth transmission using arduino?

Thanks :)

is possible :lol: , but not easy!

If you are doing for a project, it will take a lot of time.

1st you need to find a USB host shield which can support flash drive ( I am assuming your flash drive is USB memory stick or pen drive) and of course you need have FAT to read the files in the flash drive.

Connection to bluetooth is fine, but common protocol being use are serial port. Though you still able to transfer files, but it will take longer time. Again, a lot of programming needed :mrgreen:
