Hi, As a sanity check I've just tested the Bluetooth test app that you point to, built with the latest TinyOS main tree from googlecode, and connecting to it using minicom, and it works as expected for me.
When you say you test the same shimmer with the BoilerPlate app and ShimmerConnect, are you doing it on the same machine (in the same OS)? I.e. to confirm that the MAC address of the desired shimmer is in fact bound to / dev/rfcomm0 correctly? E.g. > sudo rfcomm bind 0 00:06:66:43:B7:71 > Are you invoking minicom correctly? I run the following command to get it to work: > minicom -w -D /dev/rfcomm0 > ShimmerConnect does not do anything special to connect (it does send the "start streaming" command to start the data flowing, but that is specific to BoilerPlate and is not needed for the Bluetooth test app). Besides, the source code for ShimmerConnect is available on request from [email protected], so you can easily go poking through it to confirm this for yourself. I don't understand what you mean when you say that ShimmerConnect does not collect data in real time. From experience you are going to struggle to get data any more "real time" than supplied by the BoilerPlate app (and displayed by ShimmerConnect, or read by the shimmer-research Matlab, Labviewor Android libraries).
