Parani 200 Questions

My name is Michael Ross and I'm currently working on a project to use
a bluetooth signal sent via a Java MIDP application to a Parani 200
and then subsequently to a microcontroller to handle entry to a car.
I've noticed that the people in this group seem to be the only
knowledgeable peopleregarding the application of a Parani product. I
have a couple of questions / requests for recommendations of
knowledge.

1. Does the Parani reset its settings once removed from the Jig Board,
and is it possible to program AT commands using the microcontroller?
2. I am planning sending information on a character by character basis
to the Parani, taking that and storing that in the microcontroller and
comparing it to see if it matches a value that I previously have in
the program. My first question is how does RTS and CTS work with the
Pirani? My second question is if my microcontroller UART Routine
handles the handshaking, would it be advisable to use the RTS and CTS
lines (I guess do you have experience working with either or both
cases).
3. Does the Pirani handle stack initialization etc... or will I have
to do that with the phone.

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

M. Ross

My only experience with Parani Bluetooth is with an SD100 serial
adapter.  You mention of a "Jig Board", so is yours an ESD100,
or something else perhaps?  Please note that the ESD100 user
manual (including "AT" commands) is available from
http://www.sena.com/download/manual/manual_parani_esd-v1.1.3.pdf

Based on my experience with the SD200, I'd expect most settings
to persist through "ATZ" resets and power-downs.  The "AT&F"
reset on the other hand will restore factory defaults.

If your microcontroller can output serial data at a
character-framing and speed which the Parani is happy with,
then you can issue any supported "AT" commands to an SD or ESD
series Parani physically connected to it.

Hardware flow control (RTS/CTS) is optional.  See section 3.4 of
the user manual for implementation details.

On a quick look, I don't think you've got any other option if
you need to do handshaking.  With a minimum speed of 1200 bps,
you might be able to run without handshaking if your equipment
is responsive enough.

I'm not sure what you're asking, but the manual is quite
comprehensive.

John,

Thanks for the reply, I'll be keeping the group up to date.

Thanks once again,

M. Ross
