Re: Adding Bluetooth to Vex

I'm pretty new to all this and wanted to just confirm a couple points, if someone would be so kind... Thanks in advance for your time and help!

1) With the programming dongle, any rs232 bluetooth device should work fine since it has a level shifter built in. Is that a correct statement?

2) Is there power provided on pin 9. I.e. for the devices mentioned (the aircable card http://www.aircables.net/serial.html, and the smart bluetooth module http://zbausa.com/bluetooth_serial_port_adapter.asp)? If not, what would be the easiest way to provide power to these devices? Preferably it would come from the vex module, but an easy external source would be fine too.

3) If you already have the desired behavior occuring between the pc and micro via a thethered link, add a bluetooth link between the pc and programming dongle should be pretty much plug and play (add the module and pc dongle, set up the link, adn we're set). Right? Or am I being too naive here?

4) If the power isn't provided for the aircard cable that Joe is recommending (which would currently be my first choice), do you forsee any problems with the following device, which has an internal battery: http://www.lemosint.com/scripts/blue...gle_class2.asp

Thanks again for taking the time to help where you can. It is greatly appreciated!
