Bluetooth Evaluation Module Kit Texas Instruments PAN1315EMK

Detailed Description

The kit, when coupled with the MSP430F5438 Experimenter Board, enables customer's early software and hardware prototyping capabilities for wireless embedded applications. The tool includes 2 PAN1315ETU's (Easy To Use) boards each containing a Panasonic PAN1315 Bluetooth 2.1+EDR HCI Module, on board antenna and RF thru-line connector. Users may download the Bluetooth software named MSP430+CC2560 Software Development Kit (SDK) which includes MindTree's Ethermind Bluetooth stack, serial port profile (SPP) and embedded sample applications running on FreeRTOS. One of the sample applications uses the accelerometer on the Experimenter board to remotely control a PC based game. The SDK also includes sample applications for transmitting temperature readings between Bluetooth devices and displaying RF link quality parameters on the Experimenter board LCD. The combination of sample applications in source format and the peripheral rich Experimenter board makes this platform a versatile tool for extensive prototyping and easy development of applications that require Bluetooth connectivity.

Features

• Panasonic PAN1315 module based on TI's CC2560 single-chip solution
  • Bluetooth specification v2.1 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate)
  • Dimensions: 6.5mm × 9mm × 1.7mm
  • Internal crystal oscillator (26MHz)
  • Bluetooth, FCC, CE, IC tested
  • RoHS compliant
• 1.8V to 3.3V Voltage level translators
• Supports commercial application development in conjunction with the MSP430BT5190 microcontroller using the MindTree Ethermind Bluetooth stack and serial port profile (SPP)
• On board chip antenna
• Plugs into MSP430F5438 Experimenter Board

Additional Hardware Needed

• Two MSP430F5438 Experimenter Boards
• MSP430 USB Debugging Interface
• The MSP430+CC2560 SDK license requires that the MSP430BT5190 must be used only in combination with TI Bluetooth solutions such as the CC2560 for production
  • Evaluation and development can be done with the MSP430F5438 (which comes standard in the Experimenter Board), but the software will time out periodically
