Hi All,

Well, after a machine reformat I realized I locked myself out of my BlueSMiRF. I have tried all my usual passwords to no avail. Please tell me there is a way to reset it! It is the 6 pin device (with RTS/CTS).

Thanks,
TSH

Connect pins 11 and 22 of the radio on the board for one second at power on to do a factory reset.

Or, you can connect to the serial pins on the device and send
Code: Select all
+++
ATOP,<pin>
to change the pin without having to enter the current one.

Or, you can send
Code: Select all
+++
ATFRST
from the serial pins to do a factory reset.

Hi,

Thank you for the advice.

I looked at the schematic for the board and pin 22 is Ground (which makes some sense), but pin 11 is Vdd!

Did you mean pin 5 (reset)?

I'll see about doing the UART connection, but if there is a correct pin to use please let me know.

Thanks.

http://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/RF/B ... Rev2.0.pdf puts pin 11 as 3.3v and 22 as PIO4. However, I hadn't looked at the schematic for the BlueSMiRF, and it looks like they're pulling PIO4 to ground without a resistor. So, you'll need to use one of the two other options, sending ATFRST or ATOP,<pin> to the device.

Sorry for the confusion.

what did you do to reset the bluesmirf?

I have one bluesmirf that it`s in automaster mode and if there is not slave present, always it replies "NO ANSWER" every 40 seconds, and there it`s not way to put this bluesmirf in command mode sending the +++ command by serial hyperteminal COM1, I need to reconfigure this Bluesmirf and make a ATFRST to let it with factory settings.
The inicial configuration for automaster was:
atsma,00A096179A83,1101
atsw25,1,1,0,0


I have a second Bluesmirf that it`s worst and right now it`s completly unuseful, I made this configuration:
> ATSW21,2560,11,2560,11
> ATSW25,0,1,1,0
> ATSW24,2,1,0,0
> ATSW20,10,1,0,1

ATSW21,2560,11,2560,11 //Change scan intervals thus decreasing the
power consumption from 48mA to 2mA before the module is connected
ATSW25,0,1,1,0 //Prevent communication before connected
i.e. after this command, you can reconfigure BlueSmiRF only when it
Is connected, and you get out of the data mode using the escape sequence. This is important, because the randomly
received and translated IR bytes will be ignored, and will not
accidentally reconfigure the module.
ATSW24,2,1,0,0 //Turn off verbal responses. This is
important, because otherwise the BlueSmiRF will be talking to the RCX
each time you open or
close the port (CONNECT, NO CARRIER strings). After this command, the
BlueSmiRF will output only
data.


I had posted the message of topic <Bluesmirf, Auto-Master problem with BlueRadio>
