New EDP modules from RS: Bluetooth and WiFi

摘要

Following Elektor's review of the RS Components Embedded Development Platform (EDP) in the December 2008 issue, RS Components have released two new modules for the system.rnThe new Bluetooth ApplicationrnModule (EDP-AM-BT54) allows you to replace cable communication in a variety of applications, with ease. The module combines a PIC1 8LF6722 microcontroller and FlexiPanel's LinkMatik Bluetooth radio, allowing designs to synchronise with any Bluetooth enabled device within a 100 m range and allow data rates of up to 2.1 Mbit/ s. The module is fully FCC / CE / IC certified and operates in the globally unlicensed Industrial, Scientific & Medical (ISM) 2.4 GHz short-range radio frequency bandwidth, therefore reducing the need for licensing and certification of your final design.
