Hello all,
I'd like to put together a tutorial for my students for audio-from-arduino.
Would those who have succeeded with this board please tell me
1)  what code they used? (the original library posted by the-rebel-agent is the winner?)
2)  what is the proper hook-up of pins (i.e. circuit diagram).  the one posted by chathuranga  works?

thanks in advance,

ali

also, regarding:


>>>  It's possible there's an issue with the rxtx library,
>>>  I think mellis has created a replacement so you might want to search the site for info.


i wasn't able to find anything about it....
do you happen to have a link?

thanks again!

Hello again.
thanks for trying to help, much appreciated.

Currently:
-I'm powering the ArduinoBT with a 5V power supply.  the "3v3" yellow light comes on
-I successfully uploaded the Blink sketch using the "/dev/cu.ARDUINOBT-BluetoothSeri-1" driver;
-i'm unable to upload new sketches.  the Arduino IDE crashes whiles Uploading and i have to force quit to try again.
-I'm no longer sure that i'm communicating with the board at all; it used to be that in the BlueTooth pref's of the system prefes, i'd see the "connected" light go green for the ArduinoBT device, while the IDE was talking to it; now, no more

My questions:
-has anyone successfully gotten the ArduinoBT to talk to MaxMSP or some such, using the SimpleMessageSystem?
-is there any way to tell from the board (indicators? leds? lights?) that your computer is connected to it?
-which is the right bluetooth serial driver to use,
     /dev/cu.ARDUINOBT-BluetoothSeri-1?
     /dev/tty.ARDUINOBT-BluetoothSeri-1?
     /dev/tty.Bluetooth-PDA-Sync?
     /dev/tty.Bluetooth-Modem?

any other advice anyone?

I continue to have troubles uploading sketches to my ArduinoBT.
After succeeding one time, I uploaded the blink sketch.  And now, no matter whether i press the restet button 1 sec before or 4 sec after, i'm unable to upload a new sketch; the Arduino IDE 011 hangs while "Uploading to I/O Board...".

The board seems to be thinking for a while after the upload attempt but eventually starts up again with blinking.

Are there any special things that need to be in every sketch uplaoded to an ArduinoBT?

is tty the driver to use, or is it cu?

many thanks for the help...

a

Yes;
I've been playing with the timing of the rest button cuz i read that someone could only get it working when he pressed reset 4 seconds after upload!

i finally was abe to get the LED Blink sketch to the board, using the the other ARDUINOBT driver, the cu not the tty.
but now, i'm unable to upload any other sketch, stuck on Blink.

something is still not steady....

Hello all,
I'm working with
-ArduinoBT v06
-MacOS 10.5.3
-Arduino IDE 011

I have successfully paired my board with my computer;
i'm trying to upload a sketch, using this serial port availalbe in Arduino011:

/dev/tty.ARDUINOBT-BluetoothSeri-1

when i click on upload, i see the "Connected" indicator in the System Preferences:Bluetooth status panel for my paired ARDUINOBT device go from red, to green, and the back to red.  this indicates to me that i'm indeed connecting to the board over BT.

however, i am still unable to upload a sketch; i get this error:

avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding


there is some mention of this on the board, but the main thread is about some one dealing with command line on Ubuntu.

is anyone out there successfully using ArduinoBT with MacOS Leopard and Arduino IDE 011?
anyone else see this error?

thank you in advance,

ali

hello friends,

pleased to announce maxuino v.009: http://www.maxuino.org/?p=58;

maxuino allows Max/MSP/Jitter and Ableton Live communicate with an arduino-compatible device from within ableton.

looking forward to your feedback on the beta release,

ali momeni ( & chris coleman)

Why not use an IC made for composite video switching, like:

i've tried this one and it works like a charm.
