Hi,

I’m new in the Arduino world, but I have programmed AtMega32 before, so I think I’m up for it.

I’m looking for at BT module for the Arduino Uno does any of you have a recommendation? Or does anything go?

Best regards,

HIQ152

I have one of these from ebay Wireless Bluetooth Transceiver Module RS232 / TTL . works pretty well, you’ll need a ftdi cable if you want to change the baud rate. Otherwise its super easy to wire up and get working. There’s a few tutorials on wiring and code.

I would recommend you take a look at either the BlueSMiRF ([https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10268](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10268)) or the Bluetooth Mate ([https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9358](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9358)). There are also Silver versions of both the BlueSMiRF and the Mate, which will have shorter ranges, but otherwise, have the same functionality and pin out. These are very easy to hook up to an Arduino Uno and simply require using a serial connection (either UART or software serial).
