MeBluetooth not working

#1

Hi everyone, I just received a Starter Kit (bluetooth ver.) and I started playing around with it.
I would like to use its bluetooth functionality from my computer but after two days spent trying to figure out how to make it work I still can’t use it.
Whenever I upload a project that requires bluetooth (even the one used for testing) the upload works just fine, but when I open the Arduino IDE Serial Monitor on the Port used for Bluetooth communication (on my computer it’s 12) and I sedn a character the program freezes and I have to restart the computer to use it again.
I can pair the Makeblock device, while I can’ t pair the Makeblock_LE, but I have to connect it from mBlock application.
I don’t know if it’s due to a limit in the number of Port that the device can detect or something else.
I would like to hear if someone else had the same problem and how he resolved it. Thanks.

Hi Marte,

It is not suggested Arduino IDE Serial Monitor with Bluetooth connection, please kindly use USB connection.
If you want to test if the bluetooth module work properly, please connect bluetooth on mobile device and control the starter with makeblock app hd.
