Content will be added here in the next few days. this is a bt adapter that is used on some reprap with bt connection.

Bluetooth is a wireless technology used for short range communications. Bluetooth has protocols that allow it to mimic serial communications and this makes it perfect for use with arduino, and on a ramps board for 3d printing software controls such as pronterface, and repetier host.


here is a video of it working on a reprap.

here is a program i made that runs on arduino ide and automatically detects baud rate and sets up device. bt_magic.ino for arduino runs on version 1 of arduino ide. also serial monitor needs to be at 57600 and set to no line ending. cr and line need to be disabled for serial monitor.


here is a video of the program used to setup bluetooth adapter link title

I will do another video soon (using a better camera), and add multicomm port program ability.

enjoy!. questions or comments or feedback contact me on the forum. thanks!
