Re: [M100] Hello / How I added Internal Bluetooth

ah, so the line and character delay is a pretty severe limitation but
I can see how that works.

If you plug "bitchin100 getblue" into google you will find my notes on
what I've done with getblue.  It's only a monitor program but it can
bridge BT onto IP which is cool.  I've run across the wan to a TPDD
device pretty reliably.

Re: [M100] Hello / How I added Internal Bluetooth

2016-06-24 Thread Chris
Re flow control:

The chinese bluetooth board is factory set to 9600 / 8bit / Parity None / 1
stop bit.
I left it as is as I'm not sure how to change it easily

WINDOWS:
I set the M102 telcom to match the Bluetooth at 88N1E
I set Teraterm to match this - works both ways with a 10msec Char and
10msec Line delay
This works fine both ways - I can DL and UL fine.

ANDROID
On Android I can find NO apps with a msec delay feature.
Using "Terminal for Bluetooth" I can UL to android fine,
but DL from Android has loads of skipped bits - no way to add a delay to
fix it.

There's too much I don't understand about GetBlue - no usable results yet.
If you have any setup guidelines for GetBlue maybe post here?
Can I use GetBlue to send and receive to a Telnet BBS via android internet
connection?
Other uses?

All the best,
Chris.





M102 to Windows PC running Teraterm or similar

Hi Chris,
do you have any trouble with flow control on this rig?
I use GetBlue myself.

[M100] Hello / How I added Internal Bluetooth

2016-06-24 Thread Chris
Hi all,
I have an M102 that I recently bought from ebay.
I want to use my it as a distraction-free writing tool.

I have added a bluetooth module internally:
http://www.dx.com/p/jy-mcu-arduino-bluetooth-wireless-serial-port-module-104299
using this method:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/ehgradman/sets/72157603124164552/

Everything works and I can upload and download files wirelessly over
bluetooth via my  windows PC, and partially via my android phone.

I'm currently looking for the best Android Bluetooth serial app
to sync writing with the cloud.

The best Android apps so far are:
"Terminal for Bluetooth" by Next Prototypes:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextprototypes.bluetoothterminal&hl=en
Works, but a but klunky, hard to manage files.

I've been trying to use
"GetBlue" by Tec-It
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tecit.datareader.android.getblue.demo&hl=en_GB
Expensive, but offers google docs sync (maybe) , TCP-IP and HTML
connectivity - maybe offering wireless Telnet, email and other fun things.
But I don't have the technical knowledge to understand any of the network
protocols...

I might write an android app to offer simple one click file transfer to the
cloud, Let me know if anyone is interested and what you are looking for.

Finally: After opening my M102 I am left with 3 small (3mm cubed) blocks.
They appear to be keyboard holding clips - anyone know where they were
supposed to be on reassembly?!

Hello and Happy retro-computing to everyone,
Chris.
