x64 drivers for the usb bluetooth dongle that sparkfun sells

Does anyone happen to know if the bluetooth dongle that SparkFun sells will work with the x64 version of windows xp?

Also… Just be sure… I can just stick a db9 connector on the BlueSMiRF and plug it into the db9 on a servo controller and it’ll just work?

Not sure about the driver, but as for sticking into a DB9, yes, as long as you supply the required power and take note of the RX/TX wiring.

One thing - the remote blueSMiRF module will output a connection string like:

Connect 9600…

or some such string upon successful connection to the PC. This string over-runs our test bed (because we don’t use TX/RX interrupts) and we have to reset the PIC. Once that is done it works like a charm.

You’ll need to simply test it to see how your system reponds to the connection string.

is there any way to suppress or hide this connect string?

Its REALLY playing havoc with my system.

I had planned on doing serial bootloader programming over bluetooth with the PIC, but the connect string messes everything up!
