re: Why Wasn't There More Interest: Silicon Labs Bluetooth Design Kit

This one puzzles me. I only received 19 applications for this roadtest: Silicon Labs Bluetooth Design Kit

 

I'm not sure why I received a low level of interest.

 

Any Idea why?

    I think majorly it was because - - its based on 8051, which many might consider antique. Well, they are ignoring the fact that silicon labs has made it so much more faster, i can't wait to test it. - its…

    I think some of your responses to Gough are, to put it mildly, somewhat intemperate. You can disagree with him (and me) without being rude. Actually I think Gough's post is pretty much spot on - to do…

    I just finished watching the latest episode of Picard so I feel like using a space analogy.

     

    If this RoadTest were a moon, it is currently not orbiting the planet (i.e. technology) I am delving into.

    As shabaz alluded to in his post doesn't plug into or interface with technology I am currently playing with. It would require a major mental shift, to shelve what I am working on to take up the project.

     

    I think it also came at a bad time because of competing RoadTest that do fall into my technology road house.

     

    I did read it and do some brain storming but couldn't find the time to commit. To fully understand it would have take some additional time to develop.

    I'm currently using a different version of this bluetooth module and had looked at doing a sort of review of it but passed on that. I'm looking to use it in a project of mine that I'm currently working on hence my questions with the MKR1010 and its UART interrupt structure.

     

    Overall it's a great board easy to use but will only talk to other boards of the same type, it's got some proprietary framework thing in the bluetooth (It's late and I looked into it a few months back before I started looking at teh code). This means that you can't talk to a bluetooth module from another vendor unless have the right software. Hence you need their app or thir framework in your android app to be able to use it with your phone etc.

     

    For my project it works as its pretty much a point to point connection but if you wanted to talk with random other bluetooth devices you'd be stuck from what I recall.
