Program Arduino BT

Hey, i was just wondering it there was any other way to upload sketches to the Arduino BT other through the standard bluetooth connection? Thanks

See this post:

I think it is possible - you'll need a USB->serial converter (FTDI cable or breakout board), plus you have to put the BT into "reset mode" (?) before you can use the RX/TX lines (pins 0 & 1).

But from what I can see from the ref design schematic:

...and that thread above - this is all you need to do (then pick the proper board for the connection, of course).

This is all an educated guess on my part, though...hope it helps!

Thanks cr0sh! The reason i want to another way to program is because i can uplod any sketches through bluetooth. I have no idea why, i keep getting the following sync errors:

avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x30
avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x51

Yeah - I saw that post before, and I really don't know the answer for it; I have never used a BT arduino...
