ArduinoBT Pairing

Hello,

Does anyone know how to use the ArduinoBT to scan for other available bluetooth devices and initiate pairing? I just downloaded the iWrap API docs and there are instructions to do exactly what I want but I'm not sure how the output from the bluegiga module comes back to the Arduino.

Thanks

Hi abcsdp,

the easiest way is to do connect directly to the WT-11 bluetooth chip using a Arduinio Duemilanove. I described the way how to do that here:
http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1249753712/2#2

Just omit the steps 7 and 9.

To see the events from the WT-11, you have to enable the echo mode:

SET CONTROL ECHO 4

Now you can see the events when other bluetooth devices are connecting.

You might get problems with the bootloader when ECHO is enabled, therefore I recommend using the SET CONTROL BIND commands to get back to a default configuration.

Hi Mike,

Thanks! I actually have a Diecimila too, would that work instead of the Duemilanove?

Thanks,
