Bluetooth/WiFi Bridge

Hello All,

I am attempting to create a link between a Lego Mindstorms NXT and an iPhone. The NXT would send sensor readings to the iPhone and the iPhone would send movement commands to the NXT. Since I want to communicate with the NXT from a remote site, greater than Bluetooth’s range, I felt that a Bluetooth/WiFi bridge would do the trick.

Browsing the SparkFun catalog I found:

Bluetooth DIP Module: http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/produc … ts_id=8550

WiFly GSX: http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/produc … ts_id=9333

I was hoping to keep things simple by directly connecting the two modules (Tx to Rx and Rx to Tx). The Bluetooth would be set up as discoverable/server. And the WiFly would be configured by sending it wireless commands to join a network.

I would enjoy hearing your thoughts on this design. Will it work?
