Hi,
I am having trouble pairing the Arduino BT. I can not get the green power light lit. Any suggestions??

Thanks,

Apparently, its ok. If the 3v3 amber light is on, you should be fine. Just check if your OS is pairing with the bluetooth device, and you have the corresponding COM port available when you open the IDE.

The trick is to reset your board just before you upload your sketch.
