i am an ele & comm engineer
my project is (using the easy bluetooth module to detected a hart beat and show it using labVIEW)
1- have to detect the signal of the module in my DELL laptop.
2-have to see this signal as an output using labVIEW.
3-have to find applications can be used between (labVIEW and easy bluetooth module)

plz any idea inform me

thanx 4 ur help

    The Easy Bluetooth Module isn't going to detect a heartbeat. It's just a serial wireless link. On PCs with Bluetooth, it appears like a serial port and, to labView, would appear like an ordinary serial port. As an Electrical Engineering and Communications Engineering student, you should be able to figure that part out. You should be able to refer to the labView manuals to see how it can be used via an ordinary serial port.

    What are you doing to detect the signal for the heart beat? Are you doing this electrically or optically? What circuit are you using? If you don't know, then you need to start doing some internet searches. There are lots of Do-It-Yourself type circuits out there.

    We're not going to do this project for you. We will help you if you have specific questions where you show us what you have and what you understand already.

    sorry MR.CHRIS for this mistake hope u cn accept my apologize
    MR MIKE thanx 4 ur help and support, my main concern is to connect the easy bluetooth module to the labVIEW, after that i have 2 think about othr application to the bluetooth
    i am already did a research about wat u asked me 2 do, becouse i am still new user 4 the bluetooth and it wasn't in my field 2 study thats y i like 2 have more information about this project..................
    i am sorry MR.MIKE i didnt mean i wnt u ppl to do the project i never think like that way sir

    do u mind if u offer me maybe another application for it using labVIEW???if u dnt mind
    if not than thanx 4 all of ur help....................

    thank u all

    You might look at StampPlot Pro (here: www.parallax.com/tabid/441/Default.aspx) as an example of how a program on a Stamp can communicate to a program on a PC. StampPlot Pro is normally used with a wired connection, but could work via a Bluetooth connection as well.

    We can't help you much with the LabView part. That's a product of National Instruments and they would be the ones to provide support for it.

    There is an example on the same webpage given above on the use of a Stamp with LabView. The Stamp end of the Bluetooth link would be covered in the documentation and examples given on the Easy Bluetooth Module webpage in Parallax's webstore.

    hi again sorry to keep asking you ppl questions......
    because of i am new in this topic so i want to learn more about it......
    is it the module can connect directly to a serial port then the pc???

    BLUETOOTH MODULE ~~~SERIAL PORT~~~PC(LABVIEW)

    means i do not have to connect any type of circuit before/after the module then to the serial port????
    hope you can just inform me if we need or not ????

    It's more like:

    Microcontroller --wires-- Easy Bluetooth Module ~~~wireless connection~~~ PC (with built-in Bluetooth) and LabView

    If your PC doesn't have built-in Bluetooth, you'd have to buy some kind of Bluetooth adapter. Typically these plug into a USB port on the PC. The Bluetooth Adapter would come with the necessary software and instructions.

    ok sir,my PC is DELL and its already have the bluetooth module built-in and its also support the LABVIEW software, what i want to in this stage after i read the data sheet of it, and i found some misunderstanding about the microcontroller (BS2) do i have to program it to make it connect with the PC as a serial port????because of the idea now is like

    fixing the easy bluetooth module on a breadboard then from the pins of Tx AND Rx will connect as below
    Tx
    as a serial port then will goes direct to the PC
    Rx
    have to detect the heartbeat(the pin need a transmitter outside circuit like any sensors after amplified the signal so its not very important now)
    Vdd
    power source
    Vss
    ground
    so is this the proper way to create the connection between the the easy bluetooth and the PC ??? thanx for reply....

    sorry to keep asking but i am still in the first stage and i want to make sure that my progress can be helpful to the project later on ......................
