Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the EmbeddedBlue 500 (eb500) module. The eb500
module provides Bluetooth
®
connectivity for 8/16 bit microcontroller applications without
having to know the details of Bluetooth technology. Hobbyists, developers, and OEMs can
take advantage of advanced wireless connectivity with this easy to use module.
The eb500 module provides a point to point connection much like a standard serial cable.
Connections are made dynamically and can be established between two eb500 modules or
an eb500 module and a standard Bluetooth v1.1 device. Devices can be dynamically
discovered and connected in an ad-hoc manner.
