How do I use the BlueTooth module? As in, what are the methods that I need to use to read data from it? I’m trying to control a robot through the app with an android phone
Bluetooth Module

I’ve found the dual mode bluetooth module doesn’t fully work and there is a lack of documentation and support to help figure it out. By default out of the box the device will connect to the iPhone and it says it will do a firmware update, but it doesn’t controller the robot. I spent multiple sessions with Pioneer and its clear he just doesn’t understand the bluetooth or Arduino well enough to support this module. As a result I’ve spent countless hours learning more about bluetooth. I’ve connected it to both the orion card and a separate Arduino Uno. I can get both devices to RX data via a terminal emulator however it doesn’t accept TX. When I connect it and view via at the HCI controller level I can see the specs and its in Master SPP mode but unfortunately there is no manual or details to tell you how to get into $$$ configuration mode, which allows you to possibly reconfigure or setup the card. I would love to hear if anyone is able to send data over bluetooth to the device or has been able to get AT commands to work.

I would be very interested in this myself, since I blew away the original code on the orion board, and can find no examples to help get the robot arm tank working again. I just want to see the original code, or mBlock project that was used so I know how the bluetooth controls work. I see a lot of talk about the IR module, but my kit did not come with one. I wonder if that can get me started so my kids can see this thing move?
This just occurred to me, but do you think it could be a power thing? perhaps the module is not getting enough from the AA battery pack. I’ve heard other people on here talk about the motors, but perhaps the bluetooth module needs a bit more to TX? I had similar issues trying to get bluetooth controllers to work on my raspberry pi.
