BlueSMiRF HID

Projects General Guidance
1

Hi everyone,

I'm using a Sparkfun Protoshield with a BlueSMiRF HID module. I've successfully got it working as a HID keyboard.

I want to be able to type commands to the bluetooth module through the Serial Monitor, and receive its responses. Specifically, I want to put it into "command mode" by sending the string "$$$". I then want to monitor for a response (should be "CMD").

The BlueSMiRF module is connected to pins Vcc, GND, D0 and D1 through the ProtoShield.

Any help appreciated.

I've been using the following tutorial for reference, but in my hardware the serial pins are D0 and D1. I've tried reassigning the Rx and Tx pins, but it's not working.
