Hi there<br>
Anyone interested in helping me with a project to connect a pic -><br>
bluetooth project<br>
Initially I want to be able to use<br>
<br>
variable voltage -> pic-device->blue tooth ------ blue tooth to<br>
(mobile device/pc)<br>
<br>
This could be used in all sorts of projects including data loggers /<br>
robots / pc / scopes/ test equipment etc.<br>
<br>
I do have several blue tooth transmitters and some pics and a pic<br>
programmer.<br>
I probably have the programing experience to sort out the<br>
android/pc/ipad side of things.<br>
Being a php/c#/vb/perl programmer<br>
<br>
My area of lacking is the pic programming/blue tooth side of the equation.<br>
I have a jy-mcu 3.6v-6v blue tooth module.<br>
<br>
Is it possible to get a pic with blue tooth included or do you have to<br>
purchase a seperate blue tooth module.<br>
<br>
regards<br>
roger<br>
<br>

There is (as far as I know, no PIC with built in radio)<br>
<br>
the jy-mcu is a strate replacement for a serial cable (FTDI/Cypress/etc)<br>
<br>
So It should be easy enough,<br>
either pars strings, or have a hard & fixed data format,<br>
<br>
depends on what stuff you send/revive<br>

Depending on your application, it may be worthwhile looking into Bluetooth Low Energy (aka Bluetooth Smart). For prototyping, there is a nice module by RedBearLabs (<a href="http://redbearlab.com/blemini/" target="_blank">http://redbearlab.com/blemini/</a>) using the TI CC2540 chip. I have their BLE Shield that plugs into an Arduino (<a href="http://redbearlab.com/bleshield/" target="_blank">http://redbearlab.com/bleshield/</a>), but it's not that versatile.<br>

There is an offer on at the minuet,<br>
the new LPC810 - MAX board, for ONE Euro !!!<br>
<br>
which is built in an audweeno & MBED footprint.<br>

I don't think anyone makes microcontrollers with bluetooth onboard, it<br>
always requires an external module, usually one that has all the<br>
relevant approvals attached.<br>
<br>
I have a couple of modules on order (from hongkong) at the moment,<br>
everyone seems to be selling more or less the same ones, and they appear<br>
as just a normal ttl serial port, talk to it with the uart on your<br>
chosen PIC.<br>
<br>
Afaics before they connect they will talk AT commands, so you can<br>
configure baud rate etc, then once paired and connected to a bluetooth<br>
device they act just as a serial port. on the PC end it will appear as<br>
an rfcomm device.<br>
<br>
So programming the PIC side will be the usual serial port handling, as<br>
covered in one of my earlier tutorials, and is something that will be<br>
covered again in the near future.<br>
<br>
