Last spring I published a project named "Open Bluetooth Intents" (OBI).  It's a bluetooth library that works with Amarino-Embed -- which eventually will be consumed into OBI.

Right now the only code it contains is firmware for Amarino-like communication at https://github.com/tenaciousRas/open-bluetooth-intents.  The firmware allows for Amarino sketches that use pins besides the default 0/1 (TX/RX).

The firmware is derived from Amarino but does _not_ extend the Print class.  It *compiles* for the example sketches that accompany the code, but with one caveat (below).  The firmware should work on Arduino 022 and lower, if necessary, but that's not tested.  It even has a "HelloAmarinoWorld" example.

The caveat is:  the examples _only work_ if I wrestle with having SoftwareSerial.h on the $PATH (unix).  I just verified this and pushed an update.  That's where I could use some help to get this across the finish line -- fix the #include path problem and help with testing and/or bugfixes.

Would anybody be able to test the firmware, or offer suggestions as to why I have to wrestle with the include path?  Right now it's hardcoded for an Arduino 1.0.1 installation on OS X.  I've already tried the usual C-style "include-path-fixes", I think.  Would anybody be interested in forming a Github team to collaborate on the project?  As stated in a recent post, I have a roadmap that includes the Android side of things and much more.
