Hi all
I found a thread about the possibility of debugging over bluetooth, but there was never any conclusive answer.
Well, here is an answer:
Yes, it is possible.
I connected a custom bluetooth module to COM1 on my Panda, after configuring the bluetooth module for 115K baud and my Panda for serial debug, and it works! I can program/debug via VS2010 and I can ping it via MSdeploy… ![:slight_smile: :slight_smile:](//forums.ghielectronics.com/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=5)
The only poroblem is that I’m overloading the 3.3V rail on my Panda with all my add-ons, so I will need to beef up the 3.3V regulator…
Thanks,
Errol
Sweet! Can we add the instructions and maybe a video to wiki please? ![:slight_smile: :slight_smile:](//forums.ghielectronics.com/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=5)
I’ll see what I can do… ![:slight_smile: :slight_smile:](//forums.ghielectronics.com/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=5)
Gus, can your bluetooth module’s baud rate be changed?
On my module there is a pin that, if pulled low during power up, causes the module to go into AT mode. In this mode I can send AT commands to change the baud rate, name, pin etc. All changes are saved in onboard flash.
Thanks,
Errol
I am not sure myself but serial debugging on NETMF is locked to 115200
Hence the requirement to change the bluetooth module’s baud to 115K… ![:slight_smile: :slight_smile:](//forums.ghielectronics.com/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=5)

Not sure of this will work but for the old AT modems it was always possible to goto AT mode by pressing +++
I hope it works in bluetooth too ![:wink: :wink:](//forums.ghielectronics.com/images/emoji/twitter/wink.png?v=5)
I added some info to the wiki, at [url]microframeworkprojects.com.
Can I add on the wiki where i bought my module? I was on ebay…
Thanks,
Errol
You can put any info you like ![:slight_smile: :slight_smile:](//forums.ghielectronics.com/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=5)
No video though ![:frowning: :frowning:](//forums.ghielectronics.com/images/emoji/twitter/frowning.png?v=5)
I have 500 experience points waiting for the video if this helps ![:slight_smile: :slight_smile:](//forums.ghielectronics.com/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=5)
Video is hard. There really isn’t much to see.
What capture/webcam software did you guys use for the Unboxing Fez/FEZ First Power up?
Thanks,
Errol
This might help you:
http://camstudio.org/
It’s free, lightweight and I have used it numerous times for recording tutorials or showing stuff.
Thanks. Downloading…
What can I use to also show a video feed on the screen?
Edit: Never mind. MPC-HC works nicely…
Thanks,
Errol
Any Video Player application?
Where does the video feed come from?
A live feed from a web cam. Or, if I can find the cable, from a firewire camera…
But “Media Player Classic - Home Cinema” can play streams directly from capture devices, so that is fine. Now, if I can just find that cable… ![:frowning: :frowning:](//forums.ghielectronics.com/images/emoji/twitter/frowning.png?v=5)
Video posted. It’s not much, but like I said, there isn’t much to show… ![:slight_smile: :slight_smile:](//forums.ghielectronics.com/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=5)
500 point as I promised
Thanks
