Thanks for your reply, Dave.

ESP32 is a modern affordable microcontroller many developers use for
prototyping wireless embedded systems. It can be programmed using C
language on Arduino IDE.

If you can access the attached .ino file in previous email, it contains the
code for the current prototype. I am using serial bluetooth to communicate
with a connected smartphone. I need to send text manually from serial
bluetooth app on the smartphone to be converted to braille array on the
device. A whole paragraph can be sent at once. ReadRing has 8 programmable
buttons to navigate. If attachment does not work in this mail loop, I can
paste the code in email if needed.

The problem is I do not know what kind of Bluetooth string is sent from
screen readers to such braille displays in general to display any language.
If I see a sample code, I can learn and adapt from there.

There is one prototype being kept with Brian MacDonald at National Braille
Press in case you want to have a hand on it.

Blessings,
Song
