cc2560-PAN1313 PC BT Conn

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2560, MSP430BT5190

Hi,

Did someone tried to connect CC2560-PAN1313 kit to general laptop Bluetooth module, to avoid using z430-rf2560 usb stick?

and how?

Thanks.

  • Kepie,

    The laptop should be able to discover the module. However, I do not believe it will be able to link up to it without a bit of software adjustment.

    When the MSP430 software is looking to make a link connection, it is looking for a specefic host, in this case it is something like "blue-msp430". If that is not the host device, it will not pair up.

    If you play around with this, and make any progress. I would be interested in hearing your feedback on this.

  • Kepei,

     

    As Jason correctly said, you need to change the name of the BT Dongle/Device on your PC to have the name "BlueMSP-XXXX" where XXXX are 4 random Hexadecimal digits. For example, "BlueMSP-34AB"

    In some cases, changing to "BlueMSP-DemoXXXX" is needed. If the first one doesn't work, please try the second suggestion.

  • Thanks Jason and Gustavo,

    Changing only the name of the bluetooth device built in laptop does not work,

    the message "SPP connection from Non BlueMSP device is not allowed " still shows up;

    BTW, is there any reference or document about this SPP program? It is too tough a work to understand the whole thing by reading most of the codes.

    Thanks

  • Kepei,

     

    What name are you trying to use? Are you trying to connect to an EZ430 or PAN13xx?

    There is a developer's guide available with a lot of information:

  • Hi Gustavo,

     

    I tried "BlueMSP", "BlueMSP-ABCD", "BlueMSP-Demo", "BlueMSP-Demo12AB", none worked

    I was trying to connect to PAN1313;

    Thanks for the guide doc

  • Kepei,

     

    Please Try "BlueMSP-D912"

  • Thanks Gustavo,

    I got them working now. Several points:

     The program verifies the prefix characters of the device name, which must initials with "BlueMSP-Demo"... I just used "BlueMSP-Demo" at last.

     Board cannot find computer. Laptop start the connection.

     The program requires paring code "0000"

    Now I could receive data with HyperTerminal.
