I've been playing with one for a couple of days and am still coming up
to speed. All of the exercises in the documentation for which I had the
appropriate hardware worked - a nice boost in my confidence in both the
card and the docs.
I've just downloaded MS embedded visual C so I can tinker with the
supplied communications app on my Bluetooth-enabled iPAQ 2215 PDA. I've
also downloaded a terminal emulation app that runs on the iPAQ (vxHPC)
but so far have not been able to tell whether it works. Next steps are
to get the compiler / IDE working, and explore the limits of talking to
the Stamp with a terminal emulation package from my PDA.
Glad to hear that the Bluetooth transceiver appmod is working. I'm going to
order one. I want to put the Bluetooth on BOE-BOT and try to control the
BOE-BOT from a PDA or a PC.
I'm not familiar with PDA's, so maybe I'll get one like you have. I've been
reading the Parallax manual for the Bluetooth transceiver. I bought two
Bluetooth USB adapters. I put one on a PC and one on a notebook computer. I
went through the Parallax exercises on testing the connection with
HyperTerminal. Then I wrote a small Python progam and I learned how to send
and receive with Bluetooth. Next I'll take a look at the MS embedded C that
you mentioned.

Mostly I'm trying to deal with the 'no uart buffer' problem
since I can only poll the comm port from time to time. Boy a
buffered input would be grand. Anyway, I trying a few
different tactics to deal with it. I'm sure I'll have to
change the way it talks on both ends but I'll figure it out.
The IPAQ app just has buttons that send a single serial
command and the hexcrawler reacts to it. Sycronizing the io
is the problem as I said above.

I have downloaded the nsbasic and want to test it for bluetooth
functionality before I purchase it. I am using an iPAQ 3870 and plan
to purchase the embedded blue module. Can you please post an example
on how to program the bluetooth? It would really help.
Thanks.

I, too, will be using NSBASIC on on iPaq to communicate via Bluetooth to
a Stamp -- when I get the NSBASIC installation working. For those of
you that are working with NSBASIC and have examples to share, please
forward them to me and I will include them in Parallax examples. And if
you send something really cool, we'll send you a prize....
Note: I'm looking for NSBASIC code, not Stamp code unless it
specifically goes along with an NSBASIC project.

I was wondering if anyone knows has built a 802.11b NIC that plugs
into a Parallax Basic Stamp AppMod connector to allow communication
over a WLAN.
I am trying to find the equivalent of the Bluetooth eb500 module for
WLAN 802.11b.
Please let me know.

I have a question on the bluetooth eb500 antenna. Do I need to leave space
in front of the antenna? If yes, how close can I get to the antenna?
I want to mount an ultasonic range finder, that rotates on a micro servo, on
the front of a Boe-Bot. The servo + range finder, is 2.5 inches high. If
the bottom of the servo is an inch above the BOE breadboard, the range
finder will be right in front of the eb500 patch antenna.

While the eb500 antenna is quite compact, it actually works like a
half wave dipole. The vertical pole of the dipole runs through the
antenna pins. If the eb500 is mounted in the AppMod header of the
Board of Education this is a vertical line.
How close you can mount things around the antenna really depends on
your application. Bluetooth is very robust to interference so the
only thing that would happen if something was mounted too close is
that your range and maximum data rate would be reduced a bit. If you
keep a clearance of a few centimeters around the antenna you should
experience no degradation.

This will not cause a problem for the eb500. I have mounted en eb500
only four millimeters above a PCB ground plane and still it still
achieved excellent reception and data rate.
>> Do rf signals get blocked?
They can, but it depends on a ton of difference factors. Bluetooth
operates at 2.45 Ghz and has a wavelength of ~4.6 inches. Certain
types of material tend to block or attenuate signals of specific
frequencies. If you mount the eb500 in a grounded metal box you will
seriously hamper performance. If you mount the eb500 in the right
type of plastic box it will have very little effect on performance.
I have bs2p and a bluetooth board hooked up to it, I am sending date from a bluetooth enabled PC, sometimes I recieve the same data and sometimes I recieve weird things??
I would like to know what the problem is.

Jonathan,
Yes, it is BS2P in a board of education.
My problem is :
I am sending letters or numbers from my laptop(bluetooth enabled laptop)(using the hyper terminal) to my PC(connected to BS2P on BOE with bluetooth eb500 hooked up to it), and I am recieving the following:
If I send 11, I recieve 1 and a weird thing,If I send aa, I recieve a and a weird thing and so on ,in other words , the first number is ok the second is not and the third one is ok and so on.
My baud rate is 9600 and I tried more many of them and I got the same result.
Thanks for your time.
Regards
Zaid

I was having a very similar problem using an EB500+BOE with 2p24 to another
EB500+BOE with a 2p24. I went around and around, and finally figured that at
least it wasn't the EB500 by trying it with a PICs which worked just fine.
I am currently using a 2p40 on a custom board with a USB bluetooth dongle on
a PC, and while it all works OK, I do get some not right returns when
sending the EB500 commands. Baud rate makes no differnece, and I usually run
it at 115200. However, it seems to send the data itself just fine. I spent a
good deal of time talking to tech support about it and they couldn't figure
it out, and I haven't gotten back to it to try to find exactly what the
problem was.
I have also had problems changing the EB500 baud with a Stamp on a BOE. I
find I have to add a pause after the ACK, or for some reason the baud change
doesn't "take". This is a repeatable bug for me, and it doesn't happen when
I do the same thing with a PIC.
Can you try the same setup with a PIC? Or with a bluetooth dongle?
HTH,
Jonathan

I sent a command from a bluetooth enabled laptop to a BS2P with EB500 hooked up tp it to turn something ON and OFF, I was able to do so but only once ( 1. ON )(2. OFF) but when I tried to turn it ON again, I couldn't .I checked the program and I used the debug window to find out where the program got stuck at,I found out that it got stuck at same line when it accepted the command at the first step(1.ON)(when it was waiting for a command).I dont know why it accepted the command in the first time and it didn't in the second one .
ANYBODY KNOWS WHY AND HOW TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM ?????

to speed. All of the exercises in the documentation for which I had the
appropriate hardware worked - a nice boost in my confidence in both the
card and the docs.
I've just downloaded MS embedded visual C so I can tinker with the
supplied communications app on my Bluetooth-enabled iPAQ 2215 PDA. I've
also downloaded a terminal emulation app that runs on the iPAQ (vxHPC)
but so far have not been able to tell whether it works. Next steps are
to get the compiler / IDE working, and explore the limits of talking to
the Stamp with a terminal emulation package from my PDA.

order one. I want to put the Bluetooth on BOE-BOT and try to control the
BOE-BOT from a PDA or a PC.
I'm not familiar with PDA's, so maybe I'll get one like you have. I've been
reading the Parallax manual for the Bluetooth transceiver. I bought two
Bluetooth USB adapters. I put one on a PC and one on a notebook computer. I
went through the Parallax exercises on testing the connection with
HyperTerminal. Then I wrote a small Python progam and I learned how to send
and receive with Bluetooth. Next I'll take a look at the MS embedded C that
you mentioned.

Bluetooth appmod, it uses a boe. I use an IPAQ h5555 for the
controller, works pretty good but still tinkering with it.

since I can only poll the comm port from time to time. Boy a
buffered input would be grand. Anyway, I trying a few
different tactics to deal with it. I'm sure I'll have to
change the way it talks on both ends but I'll figure it out.
The IPAQ app just has buttons that send a single serial
command and the hexcrawler reacts to it. Sycronizing the io
is the problem as I said above.

I have downloaded the nsbasic and want to test it for bluetooth
functionality before I purchase it. I am using an iPAQ 3870 and plan
to purchase the embedded blue module. Can you please post an example
on how to program the bluetooth? It would really help.
Thanks.

I was wondering if anyone knows has built a 802.11b NIC that plugs
into a Parallax Basic Stamp AppMod connector to allow communication
over a WLAN.
I am trying to find the equivalent of the Bluetooth eb500 module for
WLAN 802.11b.
Please let me know.

in front of the antenna? If yes, how close can I get to the antenna?
I want to mount an ultasonic range finder, that rotates on a micro servo, on
the front of a Boe-Bot. The servo + range finder, is 2.5 inches high. If
the bottom of the servo is an inch above the BOE breadboard, the range
finder will be right in front of the eb500 patch antenna.
Do rf signals get blocked?
>> I have a question on the bluetooth eb500

>> get to the antenna
While the eb500 antenna is quite compact, it actually works like a
half wave dipole. The vertical pole of the dipole runs through the
antenna pins. If the eb500 is mounted in the AppMod header of the
Board of Education this is a vertical line.
How close you can mount things around the antenna really depends on
your application. Bluetooth is very robust to interference so the
only thing that would happen if something was mounted too close is
that your range and maximum data rate would be reduced a bit. If you
keep a clearance of a few centimeters around the antenna you should
experience no degradation.

This will not cause a problem for the eb500. I have mounted en eb500
only four millimeters above a PCB ground plane and still it still
achieved excellent reception and data rate.
>> Do rf signals get blocked?
They can, but it depends on a ton of difference factors. Bluetooth
operates at 2.45 Ghz and has a wavelength of ~4.6 inches. Certain
types of material tend to block or attenuate signals of specific
frequencies. If you mount the eb500 in a grounded metal box you will
seriously hamper performance. If you mount the eb500 in the right
type of plastic box it will have very little effect on performance.

Yes, it is BS2P in a board of education.
My problem is :
I am sending letters or numbers from my laptop(bluetooth enabled laptop)(using the hyper terminal) to my PC(connected to BS2P on BOE with bluetooth eb500 hooked up to it), and I am recieving the following:
If I send 11, I recieve 1 and a weird thing,If I send aa, I recieve a and a weird thing and so on ,in other words , the first number is ok the second is not and the third one is ok and so on.
My baud rate is 9600 and I tried more many of them and I got the same result.
Thanks for your time.

Zaid

I was having a very similar problem using an EB500+BOE with 2p24 to another
EB500+BOE with a 2p24. I went around and around, and finally figured that at
least it wasn't the EB500 by trying it with a PICs which worked just fine.
I am currently using a 2p40 on a custom board with a USB bluetooth dongle on
a PC, and while it all works OK, I do get some not right returns when
sending the EB500 commands. Baud rate makes no differnece, and I usually run
it at 115200. However, it seems to send the data itself just fine. I spent a
good deal of time talking to tech support about it and they couldn't figure
it out, and I haven't gotten back to it to try to find exactly what the
problem was.
I have also had problems changing the EB500 baud with a Stamp on a BOE. I
find I have to add a pause after the ACK, or for some reason the baud change
doesn't "take". This is a repeatable bug for me, and it doesn't happen when
I do the same thing with a PIC.
Can you try the same setup with a PIC? Or with a bluetooth dongle?
HTH,
Jonathan
