I have just claimed the LPC810 offer, so will see what its like when it
gets here, also on the blue-tooth side - i have many projects using the
RN-41 module, I can bring a few on Monday to show you. They are on PIC
boards, and also have an android client that talks to it.
Its very easy (certainly from 'C' as you can just use printf etc.)
