N900 Interaction with Arduino Mini Pro via Bluesmirf GOLD

I just got my Arduino Mini Pro & Bluesmirf GOLD yesterday. Im running some tests and practicing some stuff with them. Since yesterday , my personal achievements are “Using Arduino as an ISP Programmer” , “Communication through bluetooth with Bluesmirf”.

I used an old arduino of mine – which is a so called Arduino Severino – to program Arduino Mini Pro.I had a RS232 to USB converter so i could program it with my laptop. But the uploading process was quite tricky. Im going to write down the tips and tricks here in case i forgot , i dont want to struggle with whole that all over again.

Make sure baudrate is 19200
Switch Arduino Severino to Serial Enable Mode( Move (JP0)Serial Female header to 2-3 pins ).
Click upload button and wait for the “sketch size bla bla” notification appear below , when it appears press reset button asap…

Communication through Bluesmirf is no different than Serial Comm. But make sure you connect Tx-Rx pins reverse. Tx(bluesmirf)->Rx(arduino)……

And here are some photos and a video demo. of what i have done so far…

Quadrotor… Long story short…

Hi fellows

Actually it is quite late to blog about this.. But i think at least i can share the materials rather than just keeping those in my archives.I’m not going to go much into details.We’ve started a project to build a Quadrotor at University.We’ve made presentations to some companies & foundations to get financial support.After 5-6 months of presentation we finally found some financial support.But the project start to evolve in a way that totally bother me.So i quit the project and the project ended a couple of days later… Anyway… as i already said im not going to blog about that part of the story because i think it would be ethically incorrect.

So… what i wanted to share here is the material i create for the presentations etc…Maybe it helps some people who are interested in Quadrotors…

It has been a month i guess since i’ve already done this integration.I was planning to develop some augmented reality projects with this combination.But i have been pretty busy with some other works.Because of that i decided to share the code itself open-source here.So it might help others rather than just staying in my archive of code snippets.
Dont hesitate to ask questions and please let me know if you can come up with something :)
