Re: [HH] New products at adafruit

[Kurt Keville]

I know of at least one guy who has ponied up a considerable chunk of 
change to get the CSR BlueCore4 SDK. I think there is a lot of 
flexibility in the spec. CSR certainly offers a lot more features 
(under BlueZ) than most other chipsets I have seen. My bottom line is 
that I have never had any problems with a CSR chipset but have 
experienced a range of (non)responses with other manufacturers.





I didn't now there were challenges in getting Bluetooth working on
embedded systems. Let me guess...the standard is proprietary and licensed?

There's a nice bluetooth transceiver module that provides RS232 TTL
RX/TX, easy to interface to embedded processors, like PICs , ATmegas and
such for about $6 or so. I bought a few last year from dealextreme:

https://www.dealextreme.com/p/wireless-bluetooth-rs232-ttl-transceiver-module-80711

There's also some software that allows one to put a custom firmware
into these, but it uses a proprietary toolchain (although with gcc for
crosscompiling), which is more or less easy to get if you google a bit
or check the comments threads on that dealextreme product page.
Here's someone with a homebuilt firmware programmer for the above and
nice tutorials:

And some more info with another similar module:

Or just search hackaday.com for bluetooth, there's a bunch of
interesting projects.
