Easy Bluetooth
[attachment=25197]
The Easy Bluetooth is a RoboTech RBT-001 Bluetooth serial module
with an adapter specifically designed to be used with the Parallax
Board of Education® AppMod Header or breadboard. In addition, the
Easy Bluetooth can plug into any 0.1 inch spacing development
platform which allows it to be breadboard friendly, and also easy to
implement into a soldering application. The module has two parts,
the RBT-001 module and the SIP with voltage regulator PCB. With
the on-board regulator, the module can be connected to voltages
higher than 3.3 VDC, such as the Board of Education regulated
supply (+5 VDC) without worry of damaging the unit; while the RX
and TX can utilize serial communication at CMOS and TTL levels.
Features
1.x & 2.0 Bluetooth Compliant
Class 2 Operation (nominal range up to 30 meters)
10-pin SIP package for breadboard, perfboard, or Board of Education AppMod HeaderOn-board regulator for safe operations across various voltages
CMOS & TTL Compatible
Key Specifications
Communication: UART Command/Data Port supports for up to 921.6k baud
Operating temperature: +32 to +113 °F (0 to +45 °C)
Dimensions: 1.40 x 1.79 x .49 in (34.41 x 45.65 x 12.51 mm)
Application Ideas
Control a Boe-Bot via Bluetooth from a PC, Cell Phone, or another Bluetooth module
Communicate with a device or project wirelessly
Packing List
Quick Start Circuit for the BASIC Stamp 2 and Board of Education
There are a few steps to take to install an Easy Bluetooth module, creating a Bluetooth connection on a
PC operating with Windows XP, and finally writing a program for the BASIC Stamp® 2. Once you are
done, you will have a working Easy Bluetooth module communicating with the PC via Bluetooth.
Installing the Easy Bluetooth Module
1. Carefully open the Easy Bluetooth package and check that the two small boards are properly
plugged into each other as shown in Figure 1.
2. Now plug the Easy Bluetooth module into the AppMod header of the Board of Education: insert
the module in the left row of the AppMod Header and notice there are labels on the module that
indicate correct pin placement (Rx uses P0, Tx uses P2, Vss with Vss and Vdd with Vdd). Visually
confirm the module is inserted correctly using Figure 2 before powering.
3. Connect a communication cable and power supply to the Board of Education and turn the power
switch to location
Creating a new Bluetooth Connection
1. Be sure that the Bluetooth dongle that you installed on your PC is working correctly and is turned
on (see Bluetooth Dongle user manual for specific instructions to ensure proper operation).
a. Open Control Panel, click “Printer and Other Hardware” and then click Bluetooth Devices.
If in Classic View double click “Bluetooth Devices”.
