Bluetooth components selection? Any "already made" devices?
Hi all, this is what I want to get done: a device1 reads data from sensor using a parallel port, then send it to a device2.
Here is what I can think of about device1, it should be a very small 8bit smp MCU controlling a com device, preferably a bluetooth module, since going into the detail of bluetooth would be a house of pain.
So for device1, it should work like this: sensor sends 8bit parallel data to the MCU, then the MCU activates the bluetooth module, pass it with the data, and make it send the data.
My problem is: I do not know what product to choose, I mean there are products out there available that implement my goal, but I do not know who manufacture them, and which one has the best cost/benefit ratio. Do I really have to buy a bluetooth module, and a MCU miniboard and put the two together? Somebody must have done that job long time ago?
Any suggestion would be appreciated! Thanks!
