->4.3) Check to make sure that the device is in auto connect code and has no authentication. Send "D<cr>" and verify "Mode =DTR" and "Authen=0".+>4.3) Next you'll need to tell the BT2 module which device to connect to. With the slave BT2 powered on send the "I,10<cr>" command to discover all PmodBT2 devices within range and their addressees will be returned. The address is a 12-digit hexadecimal number. It can also be found on the Pmod BT2's label as the MAC ID. Once the slave's device address is known send the command "SR,<address><cr>" in order to save it to memory. For example if the slave's address was 00066676ABCD you would enter "SR,00066676ABCD<cr>".
  
->4.4) Reboot the device using the "R,1<cr>" command.+>4.4) Check to make sure that the device is in auto connect code, has no authentication, and has stored the correct slave address. Send "D<cr>" and verify "Mode =DTR", "Authen=0" and that "REM=ADDR" where ADDR is the slave's address.

-> 5.1) Connect the BT2's to a power source close enough that they are within range of each other and power them up at the same time (plugging them both into one of our Digilent boards is an easy way to do this). Within few seconds you should see the green lights turn off on both of the BT2's. This means that you have successfully configured your PmodBT2's to auto connect with each other!+> 5.1) Connect the BT2's to a power source close enough that they are within range of each other and power them up at the same time (plugging them both into one of Digilent's boards is an easy way to do this).
