Controller board with bluetooth advise

Dear all,

I am looking for a board which includes bluetooth. I have been looking on the internet but haven't found any.

First let me explain my situation.

The company I work for decided it is fun to give our customers a give away present. The present consist of 3 steppermotors which should be operated by bluetooth. We will have to build more than 100 of these give away present. Therefore I am looking for a board which is a complete as possible. Soldering is not an option due to the time it takes. Plugging in additional hardware is no problem because it doesn't take much time. As long as we don't have to fiddle around with individual cables. So overall I am looking for a board with the following features which are already present on the board or can plugged in very easily. These are my specifications for the board:
- 3 stepper drivers which are as silent as possible. Humming steppermotors are not allowed
- Atmega 2560 chip or faster
- bluetooth
- Board must be available in large quantities and should be available for some time. Now weird experimental hobby boards.
- There are also some size limitation but for now lets ignore them.

I have been looking at some lists but haven't found any board that would fit these requirements. Do you guys have a good idea?

Kind regards,

Jan

Your screwed. No controller has bluetooth.

Some have hacked on bluetooth module on to a serial port. But only as a serial interface over bluetooth.

What about using a cheap controller like Ramps and then using the leftover money to buy a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B to run OctoPrint/OctoPi. Doesn't that support bluetooth? I don't know.. But it sounds like a nice way around if possible.

Brilliantly clear responce. Thank you. grinning smiley
Kind of sad though.

One of the things I wanted to try is trying to ad a bluetooth module to a RAMS board. This does not comply with my specification mentioned above because I probably have to fiddle around with individual wires. However, if this is the only solution possible than I have no choice.
