I am have trouble getting my arduino duemilanove to work with my Bluesmirf RP-SMA. I was able to get my computer to detect and connect to the bluesmirf (green connect led turns on). I am using hyperterminal to try to communicate with the bluesmirf. I followed the settings from this site, which seems to be correct as I've found other sites that used the same settings:
However, when I type in '+++' in order to initiate command mode I get no response, nothing happens. It seems like the problem is that I am able to send data from my computer but the bluesmirf never responds.
Unfortunately, when I run the processing code the computer is unable to initiate a connection (green connect light briefly turns on and then turns off). I've checked that the code is using the correct port as well.
Ok, I fixed the problem, which was the fact that the Bluesmirf RP-SMA runs on 115k by default (I guess they changed it in this version) and that the command intiation is $$$ not +++ (once again they changed it). However, I've run into another problem. I decided to change the passkey, and now the device wont connect even though I've entered the correct passkey! I've tried so many different combinations to no avail. I am thinking that some how the passkey got changed/corrupted thus now I can access the bluesmirf.
Is there a way I can connect the bluesmirf directly to my computer to extract the passkey?
Sorry, I resolved the problem a few days ago, but forgot to post. Problem solve by resetting the bluetooth module to factory settings via hardware reset.
