Hi,
I am using Arduino BT, and trying to communicate the board with PC (xp).

When I pair the device with PC, the Bluetooth manager keeps asking me the key password.
I can not pair them. Could anyone tell me what to do?

The password should be 12345, as mentioned in the getting started instructions for the Arduino BT: http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/ArduinoBT

thanks for the reply....I have tried 12345 for many times..
My bluetooth manager still said that my password is not correct.
Would like to know if there is anything else I have not considered?
I just stopped in the first step and can not go on.

thanks

Try resetting the board with the builtin button just before you press the 12345 passkey enter,
it worked for me on OSX... and even when you want start reading data from Serial Monitor or other application,
just reset with the button right before starting the serial communication,
this is the only way of making it work for me...
it seems that there's a 2 seconds time window that you have to catch, when it's gone the BT board refuse to do anything.
Hope someone can find a solution,
