Bluetooth shield questions.**Please help**

Hello PaulS,

PaulS:

Is the Bluetooth 4.0(Ble) backwards compatible?

Who's device? Backwards compatible with what?

I am trying to connect my BLE shield to previous versions of bluetooth, for example: my iphone 4 is Bluetooth 2.1.

Is there one Bluetooth that will connect with all of them?

What is them?

Them is existing bluetooth's.

Is it a programming problem or just hardware?

I'd say that almost certainly the answer is yes.

So would i be able to connect the shield i bought to my iphone if i simply make the right program?

Where can i find a Bluetooth shield for the UNO that will connect with any existing Bluetooth's?

I think that expecting to find a bluetooth module that will connect with ANY other bluetooth module is a bit unrealistic.
