The team has continued work on the programming of the device. The team is still working on learning the ins and outs of the Arduino IDE language which appears to be a combination of C, C++, and some other unique syntax. In addition, the bluetooth shield arrived and is being configured. Unfortuneately, trying to compile the test code for the shield results in the following error:

The team is working on doing some research to figure out the cause of the error. It appears that it may be due to some changes in the libraries that Arduino uses.
changing the Master and Slave sketches:
ReplyDelete#include NewSoftSerial.h to #include SoftwareSerial.h
and change
NewSoftSerial blueToothSerial(RxD,TxD); to SoftwareSerial blueToothSerial(RxD,TxD);
