Stollmann BlueEva+C11/G2 E + V GmbH User Guide 1 Introduction This documentation describes the use of the Stollmann BlueEva+C11/G2 Bluetooth evaluation board. 2 Equipment The following components are included with each BlueEva+C11/G2 evaluation kit: • 2x BlueEva+C11/G2 board • 2x Power supply, 5 VDC •...
Figure: BlueEva+C11/G2 as delivered The USB connection may be used as an alternative to the 5 VDC mains adapter. The USB port is exclusively used to supply the BlueEva+C11/G2 with power. It does not serve any additional functions. You may connect the RS232 connector to the COM port of a PC. This lets you use a terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal to perform the configuration and control the Bluetooth connection.
User Guide 3.2 Configuration If the BlueEva+C11/G2 is correctly connected to the COM port of the PC, a terminal emulation program can be used to read and modify the configuration settings. For a more detailed description of the AT commands used for this purpose, please consult our AT Command Reference.

User Guide Finally you should use the “AT**BOAD” command to determine the Bluetooth address of the BlueEva+C11/G2 and note it. The Bluetooth address is unique, letting you identify the correct device for each Bluetooth address. Figure: Reading some BlueEva+C11/G2 settings with HyperTerminal Author: ta Date saved: 06.04.09...
First of all, determine the Bluetooth addresses of the two BlueEva+C11/G2. To do so, connect each of the BlueEva+C11/G2 to the COM port of the PC and readout the Bluetooth address using the “AT**BOAD” command as described in Chapter 3.2 Configuration.
“Auto Connect” mode. The BlueEva+C11/G2 can be configured to different auto connect modes. In this example we read out the Bluetooth address of BlueEva+C11/G2 (A) and set it to command set 12 “incoming calls only”. Figure: Configuration of the remote BlueEva+C11/G2 (A) with Auto Connect Then BlueEva+C11/G2 (B) is configured to command set 8 „connect on DTR“.
