Quick Start Guide for Evaluation Kit
First, install the CD ROM that came with the Bluetooth USB Communicator. This contains the BTW 5.1.0.1700
Bluetooth stack and GUI for Microsoft Windows platforms (98SE, 2000, ME, XP). If you already have Microsoft XP
SP2 installed you can just plug in the USB device and Microsoft will recognize it and use its native Bluetooth stack
interface software.
During installation of the CD when the software prompts for the USB adapter, press 'Cancel'. After the computer
reboots, insert the USB device.
Let the Hardware installation wizard install the drivers.
A window will pop up, select 'Express setup'.
Run: Programs -> Bluetooth -> Bluetooth Settings
Add new connection.
It will find and use a default name 'BlueRadios' after you have successfully powered up the BlueRadios Eval
Board below:
Plug in the AC/DC wall transformer FIRST.
Wait a second for the voltage to ramp up.
Then plug the DC receptacle jack into the BlueRadios Eval Board, the red LED will light up.
You will see a flashing green LED labeled PIO5.
If the LED does not flash at ~1Hz, the power did not ramp up fast enough for the module to boot properly. You can
simply press SW1 (black button) on the Eval Board to reset.
On the computer, press 'BlueRadios' icon for a connection.
The blue LED PIO2 will light on the BlueRadios Eval Board.
Run HyperTerminal Private Edition 6.3 with factory default settings (do not echo characters or append any
additional line feeds). Connect to COM40 at 9600 (8,N,1) baud rate settings, and using hardware flow control.
The stack program uses virtual com ports assigned in the Bluetooth configuration window on the computer.
PC to PC RF loop-back test:
You can simply connect the DB9 (RS-232) on the Eval Board directly to the same PC’s COM1 port using the RS-
232 serial pass through cable supplied in the kit. A null modem is not required. Open another HyperTerminal
session and use the same baud rate settings above.
Embedded testing:
For the DB9 (RS-232) connector, connect the TX(2), RX(3) and GND(5) to the embedded computer or micro
controller. If you are not using hardware flow control, connect RTS(7) to CTS(8) on the DB-9 connector. When
connecting the TX and RX from the DB9 connector, you cannot connect/short the CTS and RTS at terminal J4
these are two different circuits.
Note: Most commercial devices ship from the factor with security enabled. If prompted for a PIN/Passkkey it is the
lower case word “default” in BlueRadios modules. You can disable security on the PC Bluetooth software so you
do not always have to enter this.
