3-3-2-3-3 Making a bluetooth connection with a PC
To establish a bluetooth connection with a PC using a virtual bluetooth COM port,
you’ll need to set up your PC as follows:
• Connect the bluetooth adapter to your PC
• Make sure your PC has detected the bluetooth adapter and has installed the correct
software, which should have created one or more virtual serial COM ports (i.e.
COM4)
Before connecting make sure you’ve let the OPL9724 successfully discover your PC
(See 3-3-2-3, making a bluetooth connection)
Your PC should then be ready to receive data from your OPL9724.
3-3-2-3-3-2 Sending plain ASCII data to a PC with bluetooth
Run a serial communication program, like HyperTerminal. Open the virtual bluetooth
COM port when being asked to select a COM port for a new connection. After that,
set the COM port back to its default values (choosing a specific baudrate isn’t
necessary).
After establishing the bluetooth connection, the data will be send as plain ASCII data
to the PC.
3-3-2-3-3-3 Sending the data file with the NetO protocol to a PC
Run the NetO file transfer program, like download.exe to be able to receive the data
file using the NetO protocol. Make sure the correct baudrate and COM port are
selected in this program.
Note:
The MS-DOS version of the program download.exe can’t open a virtual bluetooth
COM port.
