I have no experience developing with Bluetooth or developing code for a phone or Palm pilot. I can spell Java, and have coded in it years back but that is about it.
I would like some help in starting out. I would like a serial interface between my phone/pilot and a Bluetooth equipped controller (I have experience designing PIC based embedded controllers). I would like to use the hand-held device to set parameters in the embedded controller wirelessly.
I designed a serial hand held terminal unit that uses a male to male audio jumper cord for the serial interface to the controller. I would like to do the same thing just using my phone/palm device.
Where do I start? It should be straightforward to wire in the bluetooth module (which one???) to the USART of my microcontroller. If I understand things correctly, I could then use a bluetooth 2 USB dongle to see the serial traffic on a PC with some comm port mapping software.
I am stuck where to start on the phone/palm end. Is there a "hello world" canned setup for the palm pilot? Where do I start to discover that development tool chain?
Thanks in advance for the help even if it is an admonishment to "RTFM" as long as the requisite "FM" is listed.
