Hey Everybody,

Is there a way to do the Serial Bluetooth connection shown on this site http://www.roboteducation.org/ with Parallax supplies? Would an eb500 work with the discontinued Adapter (now avaliable from E7 Engineering)? Or is there another way to do this? Anybody tried this?

This is connected with the tread http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?p=653049

Whit,

The discontinued Adapter from A7 Engineering is $100, a little bit steep for just an adapter.

A7 Engineering makes a bluetooth RS-232 to bluetooth transreceiver (http://www.a7eng.com/products/embeddedblue/serial/eb501-SER.htm) for about $49 which is much cheaper than the adapter/eb500 combination ($159).

I have one of the eb501-SER units and am using it with the eb500 on my BS2/BOE equipped robot.

Regards,
TCIII

This is the way they make the connection. http://www.roboteducation.org/scribbler_parts.html I was just hoping there was a neater way (and to use components from parallax). There would not be anything in the software peculiar to·a particular Bluetooth device would there?
