Going bluetooth

I wanna bluetooth enable my Duemilanove board. But I'm not sure how that works. I was looking at products like these and these. We're talking a slave and a master. I thought I could just get a slave module and a dongle for my PC, but it says...

Pair with BT dongle and master module.

While the master says...

Pair with slave module only.

Hope that someone can help me out here :-/

The thing is I don't know whether it's a liguistic slip up on the part of Seeedstudio and they actually meant to say: "Pair with BT dongle OR master module." or whether I'm supposed to set it up like this:

PC->Dongle->Master module->Slave module ?

Or whether all I need is a dongle and a slave module ?

Hi Aniss1001,

you should read the review of the slave module in the in the shop: http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/index.php?main_page=product_reviews_info&products_id=501&reviews_id=63

This slave bluetooth module worked as expected. This module had a pair code of 1234, and I am using it in the UartSB v2.2. I was able to pair it to my laptop's bluetooth dongle (targus ACB10US) after changing the baud rate of the bluetooth module to 9600 ( I did this by connecting to it via USB through the UartSB board). After installing the bluetooth dongle's drivers, i was able to pair to this bluetooth module (which has a com port as its available connections). To connect to the comm port, I opened up a hyperterminal in Windows XP. Then I was able to receive stuff from my Arduino through bluetooth! Great product, and great price! I would definitely recommend them!!!
