Re: how to build a VEX programming module
rtc and cts are not connected. the serial interface is three wires only, tx, rx and ground. you'll need the +5v to power the bluetooth. if you're trying to build a programmer, you may not have much luck. i tried using a max232, a handful of capacitors and a push button and couldn't get anything going. the programmer that vexlabs is selling has an 8 pin pic on it. if you just want bluetooth for serial coms between a pc and the robot you ought to be okay. probably just need to remember to cross rx and tx.

good luck.
