Materials:



- 1 Arduino Uno
- 1 Bluetooth Mate Gold
- Cables



Connection:



Code 


#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
//We use the pin 2,3 for TX & RX 
SoftwareSerial bt(2, 3);
 
void setup(){
  // set the data rate for the SoftwareSerial port
  bt.begin(115200);
  bt.println("Hello, world?");
}
 
void loop(){
  bt.println("Are u there world?");
  delay(2000);
}


Software Test with MAC:



Check if there are bluetooth dispositive avaible(normally the name will be the MAC number)…and put code “1234″ for the sparkfun product for the connection.





I used coolTerm for Mac to verify if the connection is OK.
I open the program and set the in the option panel the boudrate at 115200 and the serial port to FireFly***





Connect button on the coolterm and here you go…
Our Mac now can communicate with arduino via bluetooth.

    wonderful tut, but was wondering whether one would use a usb bluetooth chip on the mcu, rather than the Bluetooth Mate Gold?
