Getting Bluetooth on the Sun SPOT
Ok, so the Sun SPOT is a really cool device. I thought that I’ve blogged about it before, but no, apparently I haven’t. So anyway, it’s a really cool mobile device platform that allows Java ME developers to create applications that run on embedded systems.
This device has an accelerometer, temperature sensor, a bunch of other cool stuff like a 802.15.4 radio. However, it doesn’t have Bluetooth (and that’s a shame). However, Dave Simmons wrote a nice blog posting on how to get your hands dirty and *MAKE* it Bluetooth-enabled. Be warned, however, that if you don’t feel comfortable with a soldering iron, then stay away. :-)
