Original Press Release:
MicroIceBlue - Programmable Bluetooth PIC-Based Controller - Quickly Implements a Wireless Serial Controller.
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.
