So I got a call from a former employer and he wants me to hook up his current product to this bluegiga stuff. Says they have a bluetooth module that will run 1000 meters? I though BT was Class 1 or 2 and maxed out at 30m? Also how hard you think it will be to hook up their long rang model (WT41)http://www.bluegiga.com/WT41_Long_Range_Bluetooth_Module to a pic16LF877A? Also he keeps saying it runs on ASCII. Is this referring to the data sent? Or how its programmed? I'm old at pics, new at BT. We also plan on using one of their gateways to start till we have time to make our own. Basically once a timer counts down from 30 min I need it to trigger and sent the BT to the gateway. Are these guys good? Should I look at someone else? Anyone used their crap before?
