Having issues with Arduino + Bluetooth

I am working with a combination of Teensy++ 2.0 and Sparkfun Bluetooth Modem.

The Arduino program, inside the loop, continuously reads a sensor value. If the value read is above a threshold, the Arduino transmits a "CHARACTER" over Bluetooth for any receiver.

So, inside the same loop, I check for the availability of data, and print the received character. The problem is, the received character is not what is transmitted. The received character is some garbage value.

Please let me know what is going wrong here.

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#define bluetooth Serial1
#define BAUDRATE 9600
// Analog read 0 is pin 38 
int sensorValue = 0;
int SENSOR_ANALOG_READ_PIN = 0;
int LED = 17;
char toPrint = '0円';
bool sent = false;
char state = ' ';
void setup() 
{
// put your setup code here, to run once:
 pinMode(LED, OUTPUT);
 Serial.begin(BAUDRATE);
 bluetooth.begin(BAUDRATE);
}
void loop() {
 // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
 sensorValue = analogRead(SENSOR_ANALOG_READ_PIN);
 if(value > 500)
 {
 //Serial.println("HIGH");
 digitalWrite(LED, HIGH);
 bluetooth.write(state);
 bluetooth.flush();
 sent = true;
 digitalWrite(LED, LOW);
 }
 else
 {
 delay(100);
 }
 ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
 if((bluetooth.available()) && (sent == true))
 {
 Serial.println("printing : ");
 toPrint = (char)bluetooth.read();
 Serial.println((char)toPrint);
 sent = false;
 }
}

Output:

printing :

printing :

printing :

How to Format

create code fences with backticks ` or tildes ~
```
like so
```
add language identifier to highlight code
```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
```
put returns between paragraphs
for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
_italic_ or **bold**
indent code by 4 spaces
backtick escapes `like _so_`
quote by placing > at start of line
to make links (use https whenever possible)

<a href="https://example.com">example</a>

How to Tag

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.

complete the sentence: my question is about...
use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
favor using existing popular tags
read the descriptions that appear below the tag

If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:

combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. arduino-uno), up to a maximum of 35 characters
creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
