Problem with SeeedStudio Bluetooth 2.0 Shield - No power to pins...

When I run the following code with a Bluetooth 2.0 Shield in place, nothing happens - the project itself has nothing to do with Bluetooth technology (I have setup the breadboard appropriately with an LED at pin 13 and to negative with protection resistor - checked multiple times without the shield):

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

#define DEBUG_ENABLED 1

#define RxD 8
#define TxD 9

SoftwareSerial blueToothSerial(RxD,TxD);

void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(RxD, INPUT);
pinMode(TxD, OUTPUT);
pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
setupBlueToothConnection();
}

void loop()
{
delay(200);
digitalWrite(13, LOW);
delay(200);
digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
}

void setupBlueToothConnection()
{
blueToothSerial.begin(38400); //Set BluetoothBee BaudRate to default baud rate 38400
blueToothSerial.print("\r\n+STWMOD=0\r\n"); //set the bluetooth work in slave mode
blueToothSerial.print("\r\n+STNA=HyDrive\r\n"); //set the bluetooth name as "SeeedBTSlave"
blueToothSerial.print("\r\n+STOAUT=1\r\n"); // Permit Paired device to connect me
blueToothSerial.print("\r\n+STAUTO=0\r\n"); // Auto-connection should be forbidden here
delay(2000); // This delay is required.
blueToothSerial.print("\r\n+INQ=1\r\n"); //make the slave bluetooth inquirable
Serial.println("The slave bluetooth is inquirable!");
delay(2000); // This delay is required.
blueToothSerial.flush();
}

Any help? I don't think I may have configured the shield appropriately... Thanks in advance!

Hi,
What model Arduino are you using?
No power to what pins are you talking about?
Link to the shield please.

Thanks.. Tom... :slight_smile:

It was the SeeedStudio 2.0 BT Shield - but I've got it working now!

I didn't set up the jumpers to connect to the hardware serial port, but I did a bit of research and managed to get the Bluetooth module operational.

If you want the URL of the shield - BT Shield
