Pittsford, NY: microIceBlue™
is a 2” x 1” DIL-packaged embeddable control module based on Microchip’s PIC16F877 which implements Bluetooth communication capabilities directly from the UART pins of the PIC microcontroller without any need to know Bluetooth protocol.
microIceBlue™
provides PIC16F877’s pin-out on a double row pin connector to enable almost any application intended previously for a wireless PIC16F877 application, with the advantage now of having Bluetooth serial communications included. No additional “glue-code”
or electronics is required. The result is a transparent, hardware and OS independent solution to embed Wireless Bluetooth communications in any equipment or electronic device with minimum effort and investment.
microIceBlue™
comes with a complete set of development tools, programming environment, and related documentation to help you build a device that connects to BlueTooth devices such as Smart Phones, PDAs (PocketPC & Palm), and Personal Computers. Applications include embedded instruments, industrial control, HVAC & home automation, medical instruments, etc.
microIceBlue™
implements a Serial Port Profile and allows simple point to point wireless communication of devices that incorporate this profile over Bluetooth. microIceblue™
is a Class 1 (up to 100m range) intelligent Bluetooth module that implements a transparent UART-to-Bluetooth interface bridge per vendor’s suggestion in master or slave mode, offering a fast wireless solution for embedded applications.
Bluetooth wireless protocol enables high-speed data transfer with portable devices such as handheld computers, phones, data-collection devices, etc. at low cost for up to 100 meters at 200kbaud or more. Radio power is 14dBm at a carrier frequency of 2.4GHz. Power supply is 5V at 150mA maximum.
Designed in Spain by emxys, microIceblue™
is available now at $139 (qty 1) from stock at Saelig Co. Inc. www.saelig.com 1-888-7SAELIG from stock info@saelig.com.
