Bluno Mega 1280 Simple example with PC

Hi,
I purchased the Bluno Mega recently from robot shop and wanted some guidance on the same. I was able to get it to work with simple examples such as reading the serial port etc but wanted some more help.
I am relatively new to the Arduino platform and wanted to know if there is a simple example that shows it communicating with a BLE dongle on the PC? robotshop.com/en/usb-ble-lin … odule.html
It would also help if you could share the source code for the code that comes pre loaded on the board.
I have a project in which I have to read the data from a Lidar Lite device and send it to the PC over serial port.

Hi,

The Bluetooth interface should be paired as normal with your computer and then used as a virtual serial port. You can find more details in the code repositories of the manufacturer here and here.

Hi ,
I am asking some dumb questions, as I am relatively new to Arduino platform. I hope the explanation is quick, else you could ask me to put this in the Arduino forum as well.
I am loading the following code.

[code]void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
Serial.begin(115200);

delay(500); // Slow down and wait for connectin establishment
}

void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

Serial.println(0, DEC);

delay(1000);
}[/code]

expect to see 0 at the serial terminal , but am getting the following.

Can you point me in the right direction ?

Hi cnanda,

The image you posted is not visible. Could you please edit your post and add it as an attachment instead so we can investigate your issue.

Hi Scharette,

About sharing the file :
I am having some difficulty attaching the screenshot, I get the same blank value when I try and paste it in the editor. The link for attaching the file opens a window that expects a URL.
Can you share your email address? I can mail it to you. Or suggest any other way to share the image.


Still shows up the same.
Is there a preference for browser ? I am using Firefox.
About the original problem
The part I do not understand well is that when I open the serial terminal and then type in any data , that goes through easily.
I googled a lot, did not get any clear tutorial, I guess I will make one once I get this up and running. Seems to be something very simple that I am missing.

When you press reply, there is a grey bar beneath the WYSIWYG editor called “attachments” which is normally closed. Use the arrow at the far right of this grey bar to expand it and upload a file.

Ok got it . Attaching to this message.
This is what i get when I send something in Serial.Write(). Instead of the serial terminal from within the Arduino software.

Hi,
I could get everything to work ! . Just missed the firmware update step. Which I could only do through the BLE link for some reason, not the serial port.
I had another question, I need a case to hold the Bluno mega Lidar lite and a battery case in a single box. Do you have some suggestions for the same ?

Don’t have one, but interesting product suggestion. Perhaps 3D print one?
