Maybe wise to try to understand printing to BT first before you use the above sketch.
There is a SoftwareSerialExample in the IDE.
Change the code to the Arduino pins you have used for the BT module, or move the BT wires to pin 10 and 11.
Adjust the BT baud rate in the sketch (mySerial.begin) to the rate of the BT module (9600 ?).
If that all works, then merge the BT sketch with the gas sensor sketch.
Leo..
Ok I'll do that, but I have one quick question. Can I add a 9V battery to Arduino just like that? Without any special resistors or anything? This device needs to be functioning without having to plug it into a computer (it's going to be portable).
I'm having some trouble merging this code with the code I put in the other post for the gas sensor. This code has to do with a different device (AirCating Monitor), but my device has only one sensor: http://habitatmap.org/habitatmap_docs/HowToBuildAnAirCastingAirMonitor.pdf
/*
Each sensor reading should be written as one line to the serial output. Lines should end
with '\n' and should have the following format:
<Measurement value>;<Sensor package name>;<Sensor name>;<Type of measurement>;<Short type of measurement>;<Unit name>;<Unit symbol/abbreviation>;<T1>;<T2>;<T3>;<T4>;<T5>
The Sensor name should be different for each sensor.
T1..T5 are integer thresholds which guide how values should be displayed -
- lower than T1 - extremely low / won't be displayed
- between T1 and T2 - low / green
- between T2 and T3 - medium / yellow
- between T3 and T4 - high / orange
- between T4 and T5 - very high / red
- higher than T5 - extremely high / won't be displayed

There's another problem. The BT module is not turning on. Only the gas sensor is turning on.
You must have skipped several steps again.

In code or in setup? I checked everything (setup) and it seems fine. I didn't change any wires around.
Post#38
Did you try pairing, and did that work.
post#40
Did you try the BT comms sketch, and did that work.
I doubt that, because you didn't cross over TX/RX of Arduino and BT device.

Pairing didn't work (there is no power light on or any flashing). I didn't try BT comms sketch. Let me try and see.
BT comms sketch doesn't work either.

I've never used Arduino before...
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
There is an introductory section on the main page, explaining how to set up the computer's com port etc.
jkg9:
Can I add a 9V battery to Arduino just like that?
If you mean a 9volt smoke alarm battery, then NO.
Not enough current capacity for the ~200mA an Arduino(50mA) + gas sensor(150mA) draws.
A 9volt battery bank made with AA batteries, connected to the DC socket, would just be ok.

So pairing (step#1) does work.

Is there a way to tell if the BT module has burned or fried? I did smell some something burning when I first plugged the USB into the computer, but when I unplugged it, the smell went away and didn't return again.
Check if the 5volt and ground connection of the BT module is done right.
The BT module should pair with only 5volt and GND connected.

I checked. Still nothing.
If the BT module won't power up and pair with just 5volt and ground connected, then you must have fried it.
Not strange with all the connection mistakes you made.

But the connection mistakes were made while the board was NOT plugged into the computer. It didn't receive any power. And before I plugged it in, i double-checked everything.
I only have HC-06 modules here.
A red LED is flashing when connected to 5volt/ground.
And I can search/pair with PW 1234.
