I recently got into the Arduino world and I just finished my first project.
My dad had an old RC car that I could do with as I pleased. So I fitted it with a breadboard and an Arduino Uno. The idea was that I wanted a simple controlled car through Bluetooth. I bought a Bluetooth Bee module, and started fiddling.
After having made the car work over Bluetooth with Processing controlling it, I wanted to add more control. I so happened to have a Logitech Wheel and Pad set collecting dust. I went on to program Processing to gather data from the set and send it to the Arduino. You can see the result here.

I did have a lot of trouble getting Processing talking to the Bluetooth and am scribbling down a tutorial on how to make Processing talk to a Bluetooth module fitted on a Arduino.
I have recently gotten into the Arduino game and have been building a simple bluetooth controlled RC Car as so many others have done.
I have successfully had a connection between my USB Bluetooth dongle to the Arduino Bluetooth module and have also been able to send commands from a terminal via bluetooth to the Arduino. I also did this in processing using Serial.write() but with Native errors when I ran the code.
I read several threads that these Native errors mostly was due to the driver's of the USB Dongle that was poorly written.
Was using Windows Native Bluetooth stack, and tried with BlueSoleil's also. The BlueSoleil stack didn't work.
The dongle which I have now smashed was a cheap one and I am currently looking to buy a new one that hopefully will work better with Processing and the Serial library.
My request / question is this.
If I understand all the stuff correctly, I have two options.
One:
Buy this USB Dongle
