I am trying to get my arduino running with bluesmirf using this tutorial:
http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Learning/Tutorial01
However, I cannot compile the "processing" code. What do I need in order to compile this code?
You need Processing - http://www.processing.org/
It's the IDE that the Arduino one was developed from, and has a similar looking language but the programs run solely on your PC/Mac. It's got good graphics related abilities and people tend to use it for "arty" things but it also makes a good simple base for communicating with Arduinos and other physical computing stuff.

I've gotten my computer to recognize and pair with the bluesmirf, but when I run the processing code my computer doesn't seem to be able to connect to the bluesmirf at all. The red light just blinks very slowly when I run the code. I cannot figure out what is wrong, anyone have experience with this issue? Furthermore after the code is initiated the computer is unable to connect manually to the bluesmirf until the bluesmirf has been reset.
I am using the Bluesmirf RP-SMA with Arduino Duemilanove.
