I recently got BlueSMiRF silver from sparkfuna nd am trying to use it as a serial cable replacement between PIC 16f88 and PC. On the PC side I have a bluetooth dongle. I like to know that once I have connected PIC and BlueSMiRF together will it be an instant cable replacement or I need to invoke the bluetooth with AT commands to start sending the character to PC.
I would like to send a character from UART of PIC to bluetoorh module and from there to PC.
As mentioned in RN-42 datasheet that by default the module will be in slave mode and always discoverable, will it be able to send data to PC or do I need to Configure it in Master mode using PIO pin.
Kindly let me know the starting of cable replacement because I doubt that being in a slave mode it will be an instant cable replacement by the BlueSMiRF.
Thank you in advance.
