Blusmirf Gold Problems

Hello, I’m having some trouble setting up my Bluesmirf Gold to transmit data from my arduino to my computer. I have been communicating using the arduino terminal:

→ $$$ (enter command mode)

returns: CMD

→ I,30 (searches for BT devices)

returns: (my BT address)

→ SR,I

returns: AOK

→ C

returns: Trying… CONNECT failed

I’m not sure why it can’t connect, I’m pretty sure everything is wired correctly and the bluesmirf is in slave mode.

Thanks for your help.

Are you entering command mode via the Bluetooth interface? If so, I had to do the following sequence:

  1. $$$

  2. W

  3. C,

if it fails,

  1. C

Somehow it fails the first time, but when I press “C” again, it connects. YMMV.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately this didn’t seem to help, it still says CONNECT failed.

Can you describe in detail what your setup is like? I myself had problems at first when setting it up.

I’m trying to testing it with a button that allows 5V to reach digital pin 8. The sketch on the arduino reads pin 8 and prints it to serial. From the bluesmirf, I have RX —> D1 (TX of arduino) and TX —> D0 (RX of arduino). GND–>GND, VCC–>5V. I was hoping that as the connection was established through the arduino serial terminal, the D8 reading would be sent wirelessly.

Hi, i have problem when connect the bluetooth device.

After I sent $$$ (get CMD back)

then I sent I,30 ( there are nothing come back)(whatelse i sent also nothing happen)

until i sent — ( it will sent back END)

So may i know what problem i meet? and how to slove it??

Sorry for my poor explainion.

Hope there are someone reply me…Thanks…
