WEEK 13: networking

This week is about networks, protocols and communication. I choose to focus on bluetooth radio communication as I will try to incoporate this into my final proect.I largely followed this guide. I started with Neil's RN4871 (2.4 GHz Bluetooth) board.

I milled and sodlered the board. For a refersher on those steps refer to "Week 5: Electronics design". With the board ready and connected to the laptop we are ready to program in Adruino ide.

    Serial commands
    I enter the following commands to reconfigure the board.
  • type $$$ [ENTER]
  • a command prompt appears CMD>
    I used the following commands to set up device name as Casey:
  • S-,MyDevice : set serialized bluetooth name
  • SN,DeviceName : set device name
  • type + [ENTER] to turn on ECHO
  • type SS:C0 [ENTER] to set default services : Support device info and UART Transparent service
  • type R,1 to reboot (need after a set command)
