Embedded bluetooth development kit

Started by Janne May 23, 2004
I wonder who might offer a development kit for bluetooth including flash and
interface for own circuits ?
I need to build measurement gathering system with 2-3 pcs of clients
gathering measurement of tachometer information and send it to one common
host and further on to the screen.
Host would be standard class 1 BT usb dongle and visual basic application
connected to the virtual com port. BT profile for serial cable offers
virtual com port nicely.

In client end I need to to add some simple logic and of course software to
get measurement values. Maybe internal/external a/d needed.
The nature of the project is demonstration so I would prefer using quite
sophisticed development kit rather than customized pcb.

I noticed that Widcomm offers closely what I want but their solution
requires external microcontroller though they have ready made Atmel drivers
keeping it simple.Any other options to consider ? CSR has something to offer
also but it is kind of end user model with case and everything.

In the May issue of Circuit Cellar magazine there is a good article on
embedded Bluetooth solutions. See also www.connectblue.com.
