Looking for bluetooth module

Aug 28, 2004 10 Replies

Hi,



Can anyone recommend an inexpensive bluetooth module that one can connect to a MCU via the serial, SPI or I2C port. I do not want to write the prorcol stack myself. I should be able to use simple commands to the module, and the module should handle all the protocol specifics of bluetooth.



Regards Anton Erasmus



Haven't used any myself (yet), but here's some info:

I think) and search the catalog for Bluetooth. I've used them to communicate between a data acquisiton module based around a PIC 16F and a PC with a Linksys Bluetooth to USB widget. Worked very well.

Has anyone ever actually seen a Zensys product? They were talking smack about some badass low-bitrate wireless meshing module based off an 8051 some time ago. Aimed for home automation and what not. It looked pretty cool, but I havent seen or heard from them in a long long time.

They're not purchasable, are they?

Hi,

I'm an embedded developer, but never worked on any Bluetooth stuff before.

Does anyone have any good links so I can do some reading up?

I am wondering what hw/sw would be involved in a Bluetooth hands free kit for a mobile ( cell ) phone? Like the little Bluetooth head-sets you can buy for $40 or so?? Do people offer off the shelf modules for this?

Thanks, David.

I sure have seen one and held it in my hand. DevKits are purchaseable at

You can download the Bluetooth 1.2 specifications from there.

We've used it with superb results.

Ant> Hi,

Have you used this to communicate with a USB/Bluetooth dongle on a PC?

On their webpage, they talk of point-to-point comm; do you know if multiple such units can talk "simultaneously" to a single bluetooth dongle?

Sorry if these might be stupid questions - I'm new to Bluetooth.

Yes, we're chatting happily with a Linksys USB dongle; I believe that we've had multiple simultaneous promidongle conversations, but can't swear to it. In principal, it shouldn't be a problem.
