Hello,
I recently bought a BT Shield.
When I tried to connect it to my HTC Wildfire S + Arduino UNO + Arduino IDE 0022, I failed (I didnt even find it). After some time of research i read, that there are some problems with the compatibility. So I decidet to try a connection with my PC (win vista, BT Stick). The same problem there I couldnd find the shield.
My Setup:
Arduino UNO
BT shield RX pin7, TX pin 6
The Sketch:
[code]/*
BluetoothShield Demo Code Slave.pde. This sketch could be used with
Master.pde to establish connection between two Arduino. It can also
be used for one slave bluetooth connected by the device(PC/Smart Phone)
with bluetooth function.

recvChar = Serial.read();
blueToothSerial.print(recvChar);

}
}
void setupBlueToothConnection()
{
blueToothSerial.begin(9600); //Set BluetoothBee BaudRate to default baud rate 38400
blueToothSerial.print("\r\n+STWMOD=0\r\n"); //set the bluetooth work in slave mode
blueToothSerial.print("\r\n+STNA=SeeedBTSlave\r\n"); //set the bluetooth name as “SeeedBTSlave”
blueToothSerial.print("\r\n+STOAUT=1\r\n"); // Permit Paired device to connect me
blueToothSerial.print("\r\n+STAUTO=0\r\n"); // Auto-connection should be forbidden here
delay(2000); // This delay is required.
blueToothSerial.print("\r\n+INQ=1\r\n"); //make the slave bluetooth inquirable
Serial.println(“The slave bluetooth is inquirable!”);
delay(2000); // This delay is required.
blueToothSerial.flush();
}
[/code]
I changed the Baud rate of the bluetooth connection, cause I thought that would help but it didnt.
P.S.: The green led D1 Is flashing 2x per second, i hadnt had the case where D1 and D2 were flashing (which acording to my research means that no bluetooth connection is established) so that means My shield has connected, BUT WHY CANT I FIND IT!?!
thanks
Sebastian
