Ardunio + Flash + BlueSmirf Problem

I recently got the flash demo I found at http://memewire.com/reference/Arduino_Flash
working through usb. Basically the program just turns LED's on and off through some buttons in
flash. I tried substituting the usb with my bluesmirf but the data that is transfered seems to be
messed up.

I am using the OS X version of serialproxy which i modified

serial_device1=/dev/cu.SparkFun-BT-COM0-1

Port 1 settings (ttyS0)

net_port1=5331

This seems to work as the bluesmirf's red LED lights up.

Normally in flash i get good output but when i change it over to the bluesmirf i get:

Arduino says -- ¾[ch65533]¾[ch65533]¾[ch65533]¾

Any ideas anyone?

Baud rate setting maybe? I know it is different for the BT.

when you get these values there are mostly the wrong bautrates!

usb arduino normaly has a ~9600 bautrate
bluetooth arduino has a ~115000 bautrate

Hello

A quick clarification: The Official Arduino BT is NOT the bluesmirf module sold by sparkfun
any question regarding that board should be posted on the Sparkfun forums...

Arduino BT uses a different Bluetooth module and has different requirements..

At the moment there is a proliferation of arduino "compatible" boards and support is becoming an issue....
