/*Use this script to reprogram the bluesmirf-rn42 using an arduino microcontroller. Bluesmirf defaults the uart speed to 115200 after factory reset, so a SoftwareSerial may not be ideal for a long use, but it can be used to enter command mode and temp-change the uart speed to 9600 using the SU,9600 command First of all it may be useful to reset the BT module to its factory settings, a useful video on how to do it can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gZNF3bFpzI Upload a Blink program to the arduino, when the pin is high give power to the module, an instant short-flashing on the status led followed by a couple of seconds of the led being off means that the module has been reset Now you can connect with this script and setup the BT module: Enter command mode sending $$ no line ending in serial Give the following commands to setup the bluesmirf as intended for our use Read the manual for further information about the commands used SM,2 Trigger mode SA,0 No authentication needed SU,19200 Baud rate to 19200 SR, address The address the module has to connect to ST, number Amount of time (in seconds) of inactivity after which the connection is terminated (1 is too low, 3 is used during the tests, 2 should to the thing) When trying to connect one bluetooth module with another one, please make sure that the two are powered off with at least 300mS of difference: if they are trying to connect with each other at the same moment, the connection will fail */ #include int bluetoothTx = 2; // TX-O pin of bluetooth mate, Arduino D2 int bluetoothRx = 3; // RX-I pin of bluetooth mate, Arduino D3 //SoftwareSerial bluetooth(bluetoothTx, bluetoothRx); #define bluetooth Serial3 void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); // Begin the serial monitor at 9600bps delay(1000); bluetooth.begin(19200); } void read() { while (bluetooth.available()) { // Send any characters the bluetooth pri$$$nts to the serial monitor Serial.print((char)bluetooth.read()); } } void write() { while (Serial.available()) { // Send any characters the Serial monitor prints to the bluetooth char a = (char)Serial.read(); bluetooth.print(a); Serial.print(a); } // and loop forever and ever! } void loop() { read(); write(); }
