urgent. bluetooth pda

Hi I have a project to complete for my university. I am
designing a PDA controlled vending machine. I have made a program on
Labview for the PDA. Now when the user opens the software and stands
infront of the vending machine he will scan for vending machines.
whatever he wants he then selects that vending machine. the vending
machine will have buttons corresponding to 3 slections. When the user
selects the button the microcontroller in the venidng machine will send
a signal to a computer that will also be connected to the
microcontroller. If the person has enough balance the microcontroller
will turn the correspoind motor on so it can vend the item. the motor is
24 VAC. the microcontroller also needs to be connected to a bluetooth
tranceiver. My question is that I am looking for the right
microcontroller that can be able to turn on one of the desired motors. I
will connect each motor to the microcontroller though a relay.

I am using hte HC12. Can anyone tell me what bluetooth devices can work
with it and what is the maximum output from the HC12. I know I will
need to connect the MCU board to a transistor to amplify the current
for the motors to work.

Thanks. Start a New Thread

I always thought that university projects were for you to learn from?

yes that is the aim but i need to know if the mcu and bluetooth
adapter are compatible and if it is possible to do so with the hc12
as i need to spend a lot of money on the project. i am not asking how
to do it i am only asking if it can be done.

thanks

Well, I'm interested too! Start a New Thread

Usman,

One of my friends used a Bluetooth DONGLE (named Blueport) in his senior
design project. He used bluetooth and a PDA as part of a wearable health
monitoring system. As I recall, he was able to interface the Dongle into the
serial communication interface of the Minidragon+ board (an HCS12-based
development board).

I can send you the important parts of his design report on your personal
email as I dont think we are allowed to attach files on the yahoogroup.

Best Regards,
Mohammed El Korek

This yahoo group is indeed for everyone to learn. I don't believe that
asking questions about university projects is something shameful!

I don't understand the mentality of some people in these discussion
groups. I always thought that they were supposed to be used as a
learning resource. The information that is out there for the HCS12
is not very friendly to developers and I feel that they should want
to help others learn. If someone is working on a school project,
which, for a real university, are never easy, then shouldn't they be
able to research by talking to others that know the material. What
is the difference between that and reading a book, except that you
may actually learn something from the people here w/o spending
hundreds on a series of texts. I can assume that you are using this
as a resource for yourself and I think it is petty to begrudge
someone for trying to do the same, simply because they are in school
or know less than you. If you don't have anything helpful to say, or
you just don't want to help, then don't post anything at all!!!

And no, I am not a student, but I used to be and know how frustrating
it is to not be able to gather the information that you need. Andy,
I'm sure that you used to know that too.

Interfacing it should be no problem, from what I've seen (assuming you
know the requirements).
But SHEESH, could we start by learning how to avoid top-posting?

Folks, even if you insist on writing your response _before_ the quote
that you are responding to, could you at least delete all the lines of
the quote that you are not responding to? It gets impossible to pick
out the part of the quote, making the quote useless, so why bother
quoting? Start a New Thread
