Hi all,

I was wondering if it was possible to control a bluetooth enabled arduino via a bluetooth enabled phone. As I understand Arduino + bluetooth acts as a serial interface so all I need to do is send some bytes to change things.
But, does the phone need to support the "SPP Serial Port Profile"? or can I just send bytes on a lower level?
(The phone I had in mind would be the motorola droid which by now does not support spp)

cheers!

Ive been able to talk to my arduino through a parallax eb500 (bought it a long time ago) from my HTC Touch Diamond. Had to write a program in VB to do the communication, works just like a serial port.

hmm, maybe it'll be easyer if I just try it via the ethernet board.

cheers
