Title: Want to start using bluetooth... Post by: MicroBox on October 14, 2009, 10:22:04 10:22 Hello everyone,
3 weeks ago I bought an EGBC-04 bluetooth and have a hard time making it communicate to my PC(with a usb dongle) :(. Now its totally wasted. I want to purchase a new one. Anyone had successfully use a bluetooth module with picbasicpro and runs in 5v? Please give advice, I appreciate any help. Title: Re: Want to start using bluetooth...

Have you looked at the BTM-222 ? I think it's an easy to handle part and you would find many projects using it. Greatings 0815achim Title: Re: Want to start using bluetooth...

I will certainly checkout those modules. BTW I'm planning to make my first experiment by simply sending data to turn ON/OFF a Led from PC -> BT -> PIC16F84A. Can anybody share a schematic?

can you post the details of your design. For the National semiconductor BT module Thanks Title: Re: Want to start using bluetooth... Post by: gilcam on October 16, 2009, 04:38:14 04:38 Hi Microbox
The BTM-222 modules, that 0815Achim suggested, are based on the CSR Bluecore 4, it comes with 8MB flash/UART/Codec/I/O's/Adc/Risc processor and costs less than US$20 (you can find similar modules on ebay for 15 bucks). But the great think about these modules is the possibility to create your own firmware, so you don't need the PIC to control some leds or keys. You can create your firmware in C (GCC) and download it to the module using a JTAG like SPI using the parallel port. You can find the complete SDK (called BlueLab) here: http://www.sonsivri.com/forum/index.php?topic=20732.0 This SDK comes with examples of SPP/FTP/HID Keyboard/HID Mouse/Opex and more. Even some commercial dongles can be converted to SPP using the SDK.

Post by: MicroBox on June 09, 2010, 12:14:57 12:14 Hi everyone, I finally got my first bluetooth program running...using LMX9830, PBP and Pys60. I can share the code if anyone interested.
