Hi,

Sure it's possible. Newer hardware modules even make it easy!

WiFi: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10808

All it takes is time or money.

Your time to make the project , or your money to have someone else do the work.

If you do the work you'll appreciate why guys like me ,having 'been there and done that' charge $100 per hour for projects.Nothing is ever 'simple', clients always add more 'stuff' to the original scope of project.Having to shoehorn in added features or rework the PCB to accomadate a 'bigger' PIC adds to the cost.And that's just the PIC side of the project !

Which PIC are you using for the 'embedded board'?

Hi,

To establish bluetooth communications between a laptop computer and a PIC, you'll need a bluetooth interface module at each end of the path, ie. one connected to the PIC and one connected to the Laptop.

That 'Dell Wireless 350 Bluetooth Module' looks like it's designed to be installed inside a laptop computer. Do you have the laptop that it will connect to?

The link I posted in November to the bluetooth module from Sparkfun is an excellent choice. Did you even look at the link I sent, and/or try to understand the scope of the project you are proposing?

Rather than acting helpless, I recommend that you download the documentation for the Sparkfun module, and (if you can find it) the Dell module, and start formulating a plan to get your project going. If you show some (modest) initiative you are much more likely to have people jumping in to help.

In it's simplest implementation, bluetooth can be used as a "serial cable replacement", ie. you'll be sending and receiving data serially to/from the PIC, and the data will be transferred wirelessly via bluetooth.

Not easily possible....

What you have is a USB slave device.
To drive a slave device you need a USB master device, and full code to drive it, including a USB stack. Only PIC's supporting USB 'OTG' can act as master devices, and a _lot_ of code is needed.
Alternative, is you can use an FTDI 'Vinculum' device to implement the USB master, but this will probably cost as much as getting one of the Bluetooth modules designed to connect to a microcontroller, that have already been pointed out.

Hi Ttelmah,

I assumed that the USB 'slave' dongle would attach to the laptop, and that the OP would then simply need a bluetooth module for his PIC. Of course, details are awfully sketchy, so that is just a guess!

When I saw the original question I assumed the same.

However, when he started posting pin-out's, which would not be needed to attach the dongle to a laptop - it just plugs in, I then suspected that he actually want's to use the dongle driven by the PIC, to talk to a PC.....

Hence my answer.

You cannot.
See my answer already posted.

For a very simple Bluetooth serial solution go to EBay and search for "Bluetooth module backplane". The are a number of companies that supply standard Bluetooth serial modules mounted on a small PCB that carries the PSU and other xcircuitry. They have a 4 pin connector, RXD TXD +5v and ground. I got one working with a PIC connected to my smart phone in less than 5 minutes and they only cost £8 or 12usd.

Good luck.
