Example sketch for the Bluetooth library - developed by Kristian Lauszus
For more information visit my blog: http://blog.tkjelectronics.dk/ or
send me an e-mail: kristianl@tkjelectronics.com
This example show how one can combine all the difference Bluetooth services in one single code.
Note:
You will need a Arduino Mega 1280/2560 to run this sketch,
as a normal Arduino (Uno, Duemilanove etc.) doesn't have enough SRAM and FLASH
