bluetooth V3 module laptop communication problem- DFRobot Forum

2011-04-16 16:22:46 Hello admin!

Before the "step by step instructions", I would like to know how configure the bluetooth module. I saw at manual I need a USB-Serial module to communicate it with the PC. Can I buy this one: https://www.dfrobot.com/index.php?route=product/product&keyword=USB+TO+TTL+CONVERTER+%28CP210%29&category_id=45&description=1&model=1&product_id=104 ?

And which software can use? The manual recomends SSCOM 3.2 but I have problems to get this software. Is there some other?

Thanks. luispena15

Thanks for fast reply. I really would thank you the "step by step instruction". luispena15

2011-04-14 18:18:17 Sorry, it should be "link led". The link led is only lid when you have connection with the bluetooth. If you haven't made the link led on, your bluetooth should not work.

I will post a step by step instruction of how to make bluetooth work. R2D2C3PO

Excuse me, but my english isn´t the best. What do you mean when you say "The state led is only lid when you have connection with the bluetooth"? I assume this is the "state led" will be off when the connection have terminated successfully, true? What happen with the "link led"? I have never seen it on.

Thanks. luispena15

2011-04-13 02:39:06 The state led is only lid when you have connection with the bluetooth .

The default setting for windows is not connected. The link will only be established when you open the serial port which the bluetooth device generated.

And the Arduino IDE serial monitor will not find the bluetooth serial port. You have to use other serial monitor program such as Hyper terminal (which comes with Windows XP). R2D2C3PO

2011-04-05 07:31:15 And, another thing: the "state" led at bluetooth module is flashing always, it never stop flashing and the "state" led never turns on.

I read at manual (of bluetooth module) this:

"The flashing STATE LED indicates the modules are pairing; when the LINK LED comes on, it indicates the modules are paired and ports are ready."

What can I do? luispena15

I still have problems with linking the bluetooth module and the pc. I installed the Bluesoleil and it freezes when it searches for bluetooth devices (it only happens when I have the bluetooth module on, it works perfectly when the bluetooth device is my phone or others phones). Therefore, I continue working withe the Bluetooth Assistant from Windows :-\

I tried with the next code...

void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600); //for tests with usb port
Serial2.begin(9600); //this is the uart connected with the bluetooth module
}

void loop()
{
Serial.print("0");
Serial2.print(1234);
}

...because I think the problem is in the pairing but it doesn´t work. Really I need help, I am desesperate!

P.D.: I saw this topic: https://www.dfrobot.com/forum/index.php?topic=79.0. Are you admin at this forum too?

Thanks luispena15

2011-04-02 20:20:21 Ok. This is the next step. I don´t have my arduino here (it is at university) but I will say you what happened.

I have been using the Bluetooth Assistant from Windows for the tests. luispena15

Download a trail version and test to see if it can find the bluetooth V3 module. R2D2C3PO
