Easy Bluetooth (#30085)
The Easy Bluetooth is a RoboTech RBT-001 Bluetooth serial module with an adapter specifically designed
to be used with the Parallax Board of Education
Bluetooth can plug into any 0.1 inch spacing development platform which allows it to be breadboard
friendly, and also easy to implement into a soldering application. The module has two parts, the RBT-001
module and the SIP with voltage regulator PCB. With the on-board regulator, the module can be
connected to voltages higher than 3.3 VDC, such as the Board of Education regulated supply (+5 VDC)
without worry of damaging the unit; while the RX and TX can utilize serial communication at CMOS and
TTL levels.
