Flora + Bluesmirf

Post by sicchio »

Hiya

I am trying to send sensor data from Flora to my laptop via bluetooth with the Bluesmirf Gold. Is this supported? Things say I am connected but I am not actually receiving any serial

Thanks

The BlueSmirf is a Sparkfun product, so I doubt anyone here is an expert with it.

Debugging from the 10,000 foot level, it sounds like you're getting a radio connection but the devices haven't done the protocol handshaking necessary to exchange data. Something like that is mentioned in the device datasheet ( https://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/Wir ... oth-um.pdf ) as a security settings issue.

Other than that, about the best I can do is point you to the SparkFun Bluetooth tutorial: https://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/67 and this project where someone uses the device to connect to a robot: http://www.lynxmotion.com/images/html/build125.htm

Thanks. Still haven't gotten a hand shake - going to have to try lilypad and xbee to finish the project
