Week 13

Networking and Communication

Bluetooth

This week I decided to mak a board that would both satisfy this week's networking goals and at the same time serve as a prototype for my final project.


REMINDER TO SELF... RTFM

So I started early this week and made this fabulous board that had a bunch of input devices, LEDs and a bluetooth module so it could act as a prototype for my watch. Long story short, I milled everything and the board worked beautifully for the input devices and the output LEDs, but it simply refused to talk to my computer.
So I did the next "natural" thing and made a simple board that looked like Neil's board and realized that it still didn't work.
Finally when I decided to read the user-guide for the RN4871, I discover that all I needed to do was type $$$ to get the module into command mode -.-



Once I figured out that all I needed to do was type in the right commands, I was able to talk to my original board that was a prototype for my final project with input, output and communication devices
