Tried two different ones, still happens on both, and happens under different com ports when you move the BT device to another usb port.

I'll figure it out somehow, hopefully.

Not working for me either. The blue light goes on but it says upload error.

Does the controller reboot?

no sir.

Did you use the correct cable?
The wifi and bluettoth cables are different.
BT cable has on extra wire that will carry the signal for reboot.
Make sure that 5 wire cable is connected between head unit and BT attachment.

Confirmed that I am using the correct cable. I am also getting a lot of crashes on the controller where the status light will go red, the screen will go black, and the unit would be unresponsive.

This is what I'm getting:

Using Port : \\.\COM7
Using Programmer : stk500v2
Overriding Baud Rate : 115200
Rebooting Reef Angel Controller
avrdude: Send: . [1b] . [01] . [00] . [01] . [0e] . [01] . [14]

avrdude done. Thank you.

What was the fix?

--Colin

Wrong resistor value when the module was built.
It was not rebooting Reef Angel to activate the bootloader.

I give up trying to get this to work on my PC. If anyone is looking for one of these modules, pm me.

I saw you were selling your BT bhazard. I guess you never got it to work?

Nope. It works in that the PC can see it and interact with it, but it will not upload code in my setup.

I would love to get my hands on one to give it a go Roberto

PM me for details

I am having this same problem. How do you fix

Make sure the jumper is set to off.
When the connection is established, does the blue led turn on?
When the blue led turn on, does the controller reboot?

Jumper set to off. Blue light comes on when connection is made. Controller does not reboot.

I think you will need to send it to me, so I can look into it.
PM for an RMA.

Can't PM. Not enough post yet I guess. I'll send email.

Working great now. Thanks for the quick turn around.

Do you have the eagle files for this one? I'm interested in how you did the serial sharing.

Available in the download section now.

Thank you sir!

i'm sorry if i missed it reading through the pages, but how far can it operate do ya think because my head unit is in my basement and it would be nice to program from one floor up where the DT is

It's a bluetooth 2.1 chip, so it's supposed to work for up to 33 feet, but it all depends on obstructions too.

Hi Roberto,

Did you ever get enclosures for these?

cheers

Yeap.
I got a few of those with enclosures

I have mac air with Mavericks. Just bought the BT attachment. When I pair the BT, it does stay with the discovered devices but does not have the connect option. I need to remove and rediscover to get it connected. Anyone has the same issue?
