Hello All,
I've been using Maxstream XBee radios embedded in a custom remote. The remote is used to control a custom lighting control with another XBee module.
Production of the custom remote is difficult, expensive, and time consuming. I would like to replace the custom remote with a PDA (Tungsten E2) with Bluetooth. That way a custom app can be written and the capabilities of the remote won't be limited by how many keys I can build into a stock enclosure.
Question is:
I'm having a hard time deciphering whether the BlueSMiRF modules lend themselves to this simple link. (XBEE was super simple)
Does anyone know of a 'How-to' that I could use to get started?
It appears from just playing with the Bluetooth options in the Palm, there are a lot of settings that need to be configured to establish a connection.
I'll continue to dig into the BlueRadios manual and see if I can find any of these answers on my own. Until then, any help would be greatly appreciated.
John
