Connecting to phones, tablets and laptops via Bluetooth

My customer is looking for an app note or demo that describes the process of connecting his BT kit (PAN1323 + EXP430F5438) to other devices, such as tablets, laptops and smartphones.

The Bluetopia Stack is downloaded and installed.  The binaries have been loaded into the experimenter boards and the examples seem to work OK.

The Wiki is full of information and I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the direction of a step by step process for connecting to other devices.

Thank you.  -ANDY

    Hello Andy,

    Quick question before we discuss this further: which profiles do you want to connect to when you try to connect to these devices?

    Thanks,

    Stonestreet One,

    Thank you for responding.      It's unclear to the specific profile that best fits the customers needs.  Neither audio nor video are needed...just data.  The application is an App running in a custom device and an App in a target device (phone, tablet or computer) will be talking to each other.  Where the customers product will be using a serial protocol, like RS232 and will not be aware the transport is wireless

    Using the Bluetooth device as a normal serial port for the application. Plus using the low energy features.

    Suggestions would be welcome.

    Thank you.  -ANDY

    Hi Andy,

    Has your customer seen this page (link)? It describes how SPP works and how to use the SPP demo included in the Bluetopia sdk download (link).

    This link has an overview of the SPP demo running in Low Energy mode.

    All the links above came from this wiki that outlines the available demos for the Bluetooth module.

    Does this help? From my understanding of your request this exactly covers the application you describe. Please let me know if there are any issues with the demo's themselves.

    Thanks,
