Hi,
I am going to build a board to hook up with my PDA(bluetooth enabled).
Some one have experience with this? I need to find some bluetooth chips
and antenna.
Any advice will be appreciated!
A bluethooth transciever is a RF chip running in 2.4Ghz ISM band.
Except the transciever itself you need also a PA and probably a
microstrip antenna.
It's a big project and require the availability of RF tools as spectrum
analyzer, eventually a network analizer for antenna caracterisation and
a lot of time, base knowledge and software (of couse it needs some
logic too...)
There are many producers of bluethooth transcievers, most of them are
keeping designs on secret and require a NDA signed by an user company.
If you are just an amateur will be difficult.
So, if you don't match all criteria above, better play with zigbee,
it's easier.
greetings,
Vasile
