Self-Balancing Robot First Step:The Interaction

Here is the first step in making of Self Balancing Robot. In this step i worked on Bluetooth & Serial Communication.
Communication scheme:
N95 (Bluetooth)—> PC —–( Serial)—-> Arduino
I used the same motor driver shield which i already made back in Narduino Project.
If you havent heard about Narduino Shield and its simple design done on veroboard click here to see it and its circuit diagram.
After the Narduino shield properly connected to motor wires and the supply connection ,  it is time to talk about coding…
Here below , i shared all the codes used in the project.

Desktop_AccBalance.py

from bluetooth import *
import serial
server_sock=BluetoothSocket( RFCOMM )
server_sock.bind(("",PORT_ANY))
server_sock.listen(1)
port = server_sock.getsockname()[1]
s=serial.Serial(2,9600)
uuid = "94f39d29-7d6d-437d-973b-fba39e49d4ee"
advertise_service( server_sock, "SampleServer",
                   service_id = uuid,
                   service_classes = [ uuid, SERIAL_PORT_CLASS ],
                   profiles = [ SERIAL_PORT_PROFILE ],
#                   protocols = [ OBEX_UUID ]
                    )
print "Waiting for connection on RFCOMM channel %d" % port
client_sock, client_info = server_sock.accept()
print "Accepted connection from ", client_info
try:
    while True:
        data = client_sock.recv(1024)
        if len(data) == 0:
		    break
        print data
        s.write(data)
except IOError:
    pass
print "disconnected"
client_sock.close()
server_sock.close()
print "all done"
