The Arduino BT is an Arduino board with built-in bluetooth module, allowing for wireless communication. To get started with the Arduino BT, follow the directions for the Arduino NG on your operating system (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux), with the following modifications:
The microcontroller (an ATmega168) on the Arduino BT is a physically smaller version of the chip on the USB Arduino boards, with the following small difference:
The Arduino BT is more fragile and easy to break than a regular Arduino board.
For more details, see the Arduino BT hardware page.
Only communicate at 115200 baud using the serial commands (e.g. Serial.begin()
, etc.). This is the speed for which the bluetooth is configured.
Pin 7 is connected to the reset pin of the bluetooth module; don't use it for anything (except resetting the module).
