| I'm looking for a cheap solution how to communicate with pc/mobile phone to my own mcu solution via bluetooth. So how do I add bluetooth on pic16f877 powered device? Is there any one chip bluetooth solution available? Device is more or less relay shifter and I would like to drive it wireless... any advices or links... |

http://www.free2move.se ; used their module in a product connected to a PIC16F873 with no problems. Works very well.

| Thanks, that looks good but I'm looking for something I can add to my pcb with pic. And also I would like to learn more or less how to use bluetooth on hardware level. this might be mission impossible but need to know how far I'm able to go... |

You really have to lay the module out on PCB using a PCB aerial. The module is no bigger than 1/2 a 40pin DIL PIC and is surface mount. I looked into doing it myself but unless you are producing hundreds of your product the cost in registration, let alone R&D to do a bluetooth stack, rules it out IMHO.
The module I used was a F2M03

yeah you are right. this free2move seems a good idea. I first look about those ones on rs232 connection which are on front page.
any ideas how expensive this F2MO3C2 module is? lets say at 100pcs volume. |

Expensive...
At least $80.
You are paying for the fact that they have done the work allready. There are several other similar modules around, and most are about the same price.

50Euros each, at least in 1's and 5 offs. Not bad really.

Will: You probably have some example code how to receive data from F2M03 module. Is there any change you could show me some to help my start with PIC16F628 and F2M03C2-module?
Also interesting about hardware details.
My email is on user data. Thanks!
