PearlBlue implements the proprietary command based firmware over the Bluetooth Serial Port Profile and allows glueless point to point wireless communication of devices that incorporate this profile over Bluetooth.
PearlBlue connects the radio serial port to a physical UART that can be easily interfaced to an embedded microcontroller, microprocessor or computer.
Moreover, PearlBlue can work on its own and offers six general purpose input/output pins.
PearlBlue can act as a master or an slave; this feature allows it to wait for connections or to initiate a connection.
The simplicity and power of PearlBlue allows users to implement wireless RS232 links between computers, portable computers, smart phones and other PearlBlue modules.
Emxys offers a complete range of ready-to-use Bluetooth modules to ease the implementation of this innovative technology with the minimum effort.
