So currently I have purchased this Bluetooth HID radio, product number: RB-Spa-608
I am trying to connect this Bluetooth radio to digital pins of my Arduino Mega to set the baud rate to 56700 so it will speak with my Android application which is an API provided by Google called Bluetooth chat. The tutorial I am using (instructables.com/id/Android … o-Arduino/) they use a Bluetooth Gold
The instructions I am using are for a Bluetooth gold(Bluetooth Modem: BlueSMiRF Gold, aka FireFly (Sparkfun sku: WRL-00582) and they required you to use an FTDI basic 5V to make a SPP connection through a micro usb cord to computer and use HYPERTERMINAL OR TERA TERM to program the baud rate and then I would change in my android application the “UUID” to the Bluetooth radio which I have done based on the roving networks manual provided with the purchase digitally, but no luck, it will not connect, but I tried changing this radio by using commands, I created an object in Arduino using SoftwareSerial.H library and connecting to two digital pin to the RX and TX and then printing commands to it which seemed to change the baud rate as the light blinked faster but it would not connect to my Bluetooth chat application.
Here is my code trying to connect.
[code]/*
SoftwareSerial mySerial = SoftwareSerial(255, TxPin);
//BlueTooth
int bluetoothTx = 42; // TX-O pin of bluetooth mate, Arduino D2
int bluetoothRx = 43; // RX-I pin of bluetooth mate, Arduino D3
SoftwareSerial bluetooth(bluetoothTx, bluetoothRx);
void setup(){
bluetooth.begin(11520); // The Bluetooth Mate defaults to 115200bps
bluetooth.print("$"); // Print three times individually
bluetooth.print("$");
bluetooth.print("$"); // Enter command mode
delay(100); // Short delay, wait for the Mate to send back CMD
bluetooth.print(“SU,115”);
}
*/[/code]
I have the FTDI BASIC 5V part but I am starting to learn this radio (the HID) works differently than the gold.
Can anyone help me achieve my desired goals?
I will try and recap and condense what I am trying to do in a more simple manner.
I am trying to turn on RGB lights by sending a certain segment of text from the Bluetooth chat application and print the text to the LCD Monitor.
