Ok..got my bluesmirf hooked up to Arduino and have a flashing LED on the smirf.
I'm able to search for and find the device on my Vista PC using a bluetooth dongle. Through some trial and error, I was able to establish something of a connection where my bluetooth settings show COM5 outgoing and COM6 incoming.
The Arduino IDE loads kind of funky while this bluetooth settings are in place. Sometimes loading, sometimes not. I was able to get it up and going once and it showed the bluesmirf com port but was not able to upload anything nor did the serial monitor establish a proper connection.
I'd welcome any assistance in configuring this thing.
