BlueSmirf and AVR with balancing robot

Hi,

I’m doing a balancing robot project using bluesmirf and bluetooth to rc my robot around but am having problems sending/receiving signals to/from the bluesmirf.

I’ve set up the bluetooth and windows xp is recognising it and is connected to com10.

If connected the tx-0 and rx-1 pins on the bluesmirf to the avr board and connected pins cts-1 and rts-0 together.

I can get hyperterminal to connect to the device and i can write commands to it. baud rate in the AVR and on the bluetooth are 9600bps. I’m not sure if this is right but i’m using the ATMD command to start sending data to the bluesmirf but getting no reply from the avr atmega64.

I basically want to continuously recieve a command from the hyperterminal without having to push enter after every command and have the avr board read the signals.

I’m using USART to enable the transmitter and receiver and have basic function that puts the lights on at PORTC once i recieve a interrupt (USART1_RX_vect) but it never enters that function. I’ll paste the code below. You’re help would be appreciated

*****this is my main function

#include “usart.h”

#include <avr/io.h>

int main(void){

DDRC = 0xFF;

//char temp;

usart_init(USART_BAUDRATE(28800,1));

while(1) {

//temp=usart_getc();

//usart_putc(‘a’)

//usart_puts(“blah”);

}

return 0;

}

***actual program

#include <avr/io.h>

#include <avr/interrupt.h>

#include <string.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

#include “usart.h”

// Increase first pointer

if (++usart_buffer_pos_first >= USART_BUFFER_SIZE)

usart_buffer_pos_first = 0;

// Get data from the buffer

return usart_buffer[usart_buffer_pos_first];

}

PORTC = 0xFF; //turn lights on when it receives a signal. Just for testing.

unsigned char c;

usart_putc(c);

}

figured it out…

had the rx and tx pins the wrong way round…stupid
