I’ve been trying to interface my arduino to flash, which works fine if i got it wired up, but for some reason I can’t connect to the BT device with serial proxies (needed for flash). Hyperterminal works fine to connect, send and recieve, but for some reason the serial proxy doesn’t work.
I’ve tried with the serproxy programm on the arduino website, and with barragan’s serial proxy (which is working, but with over 5sec delay).
Anyone have any idea how to get either BT to work with serproxy? or have another programm which allows me to connect to the bluesmirf from flash?
Does serproxy require use of any of the RS-232 control signals (DTR, CTS, DSR, etc.)? If so, you will not be happy to know that these signals cannot be controlled over the radio link with these modules.
I worked around the problem on my PIC board by monitoring the serial input and waiting for a special control character to be sent by the PC. When I received the character, I jumped to location 0 (which then jumped to the bootloader).
I’m not aware of what is needed for the Arduino bootloader, so this post may be just noise.
and afaik the problem isn’t with the arduino, but with the serial port on the pc, because when i connect the rx and tx only (so no flow control) with my hardware rs232, it works just fine
so the problem is to get any kind of flash interface to the serial port, as hyperterminal also works fine with the bt unit
