I forgot I had a series of senors and one is the bluetooth hc-5 senor. I am trying to find a diagram where I can stick it into the beaglaboard but dont know what pins I should plug into. I am having issues trying to log into the ssh and using default password tmppwd and it refuses me to log into its shell account? Once I am logged in, create the python script and then power on the bluetooth, I did not see anyway to restrict its db gain to make a smaller bluetooth RF footprint?
more detail on the hc-5 bluetooth might help. a simple search showed on that one, required 3.6 to 6 volt, which would not work with the BBB. it used a uart interface. so more detail on which hc-5 bluetooth you have.
