Arduino uno and bluetooth shield configure help

hi guys,

i'm trying to get pulse data through arduino uno using bluetooth shield and i'm not sending any commands into arduino just getting the raw data from pulse sensor. after Bluetooth pairing it's disconnects after 2-3 seconds. seems like i didn't configure the bluetooth shield. please guide me step by step. note - pulse sensor works prefect using an usb wire

same pulse sensor and bluetooth shield that i'm using.

thanks. :slight_smile:

The delay is hard to explain but the disconnect could still be because you still have the serial monitor connected by USB cable to Arduino. Disconnect the cable and use RealTerm to talk to the Arduino. It is possible to have the USB cable connected to a desktop and bluetooth to a laptop. You don't say how the pulse thing is connected. There could be a clash between that and bluetooth, particularly if you are using software serial.

The guts of the shield is a plain-vanilla HC-0x. You don't say if the bluetooth works with the pulse thing disconnected. Here is some background that may be useful.
