The Development Kit

We chose Ericsson's Developmet Kit because it was one of the most cost effective development tools in the market with sufficient capabilities. Below, you can see the block diagram and the kit itself. The modue in the middle is sold seperataly and after we design our software, the PDAs will be integrated with the module. So that each PDA will become bluetooth enabled.
