Propeller Obtaining Bluetooth Data

I have a hand-held laser that will transmit the distance over bluetooth to a paired device. I want to use a propeller chip to send the proper ascii character to cause it to take a measurement, and I want to receive the measurement over bluetooth. Can anyone direct me to exactly what I need to try to do this?

THANKS

    There are lots of "protocols" that make up the layers that sit on top of basic Bluetooth. The devices that you'd get to hook up to a Propeller all use what's called Serial Port Protocol or SPP. If your laser uses SPP, it will just pair directly with something like this SPP Bluetooth adapter. If your laser doesn't use SPP, but uses some other protocol, you'd have to find an adapter that would user the protocol used by your laser.

    If your laser uses SPP, then the examples linked from the above product page will show you how to use it with a Propeller or a Stamp. The Bluetooth connection will look like any other serial device to the Propeller or Stamp.
