Arduino BT + BlinkM Sequencer communication

Has anyone attempted to use the BlinkM Sequencer + Arduino BT? I'm having some problems interacting with the board. I changed the communication baud rate to 115200 but that's the only change I've made so far. I was able to program the arduino BT with the communicator and the BlinkM runs through it's default pattern just fine.

BTW, I'm using Ubuntu 8.04, Arduino 0011

Hi it should work fine with the Arduino BT. Getting the serial port setup was a bit tricky on my Windows machine. The port seemed to come and go as the BT was booting, so you had to find the "right" time to switch to the serial monitor after resetting the BT. You might try a simple sketch that just echos any received serial data back to the pc so you know you have the serial connection working. Once you get it, the Communicator should work just fine.

Will thanks for the feedback. The problem was that I didn't change the serial baud rate in the communicator sketch before loading it onto the arduino. The connection is finicky, basically I close the connection to the board via commandline and click reset, open the BT connection again via commandline and then quickly upload the sketch.
