Hello,

iám a german costumer and hope for help, i hope my english is good enough. I´ve bought two devices of this serial bluetooth modules. http://www.seeedstudio.com/wiki/Grove_- ... _Bluetooth

My plan is to connect two arduinos, one mega and one uno, togehter. The uno have to recive data from the mega. the mega is integrated in a controlunit.
so i have installed one module to the mega as master, and the other module to the uno, as slave.

Both modules show on the led´s that they are abel to connect but the diddn´t. i dont know why.

i use the following code from your tutorials.

for the master i use

The wiring on the uno is pin 6 RX, pin 7 tx. On the mega i use a uart port, so wiring is 19 tx, 18rx.

I can search the slave with my samsung galaxy s4. if i press connect, i get from the cellphone an ok, but in the serial monitor of the arduino ide i didn´t an the led´s state doesn´t change.

i fact i only need a static connection between master and slave i never need an other device. #

i dont know were my mistake. please help me to find the mistake. let my know how i have to change the code or what can i do.

thanks for all your help.
