Hello,
I'm not sure that my problems with SoftwareSerial has anything to do with this thread, but it sounds likely. I'm using MacOS 10.6.8 with Arduino 1.0.1.
When I make a bluetooth connection to my Sparkfun Bluetooth Mate Gold I can query the device correctly, and both sending commands and receiving chars works fine. However, when I try to make a small echo sketch the chars come back garbled.
Question and code is here: arduino - Making an echo sketch using SoftwareSerial and Bluetooth - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange.
Help is needed!
Thanks.
