Add bluetooth to Yun?
I'd like to add capability to my Arduino Yun to communicate Bluetooth SPP to my Android tablet. Is the Bluefruit EZ-Link Shield compatible with the Yun? If not, are there any other solutions? Better solutions?

Re: Add bluetooth to Yun?
The EZ-Link uses a serial connection, so you can use it to communicate but not to program the Yun's microcontroller side.
The Yun uses an ATmega32u4 like the Leonardo, and that chip handles USB communication internally. Its Serial interface isn't exposed at the GPIO headers, but its hardware UART on pins 0 & 1 is handled by the Serial1 interface.
