hi guys,
i am having difficulty with interfacing BLUESMIRF GOLD with arduino. the amount of resource on the net on bluesmirf is depressing and not completely accurate i believe. one of the few i found is:
http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Learning/Tutorial01
i have tried setting up everything according to this tutorial. i use bloseleil software for bluetooth connection and 115200 baudrate for the bluesmirf(both set on the arduino0021 and processing side, and the com port on the device manager).
i believe this is the correct baud rate as previously it was 9600 and the light does not on. but now when i press the red button on the processing program, the light ON.however, when i try to press another button, message saying "error inside serial.write()" appears in the processing display. it is always like that, i can only press once and when i try to press anything else again, then the error message comes out.
when the error happens, it points out to the "port.write('H');" or "port.write('L');" depending on the button on the second instance i press. is that something wrong with the processing serial? or my setup.
it took me 3 days to reach to this point to set up the bluesmirf, why cant sparkfun just make a complete 2 page guide on how to set up the bluesmirf with arduino and processing.why they got to lose? i am pretty dissapointed on their support on their bluesmirf. i believe what i am facing is faced by many others that bought bluesmirf too. hope this article could help.
