LocoBufferBlue Documentation (05/09/2012)The LocoBuffer-Blue provides a wireless hardware interface to Loconet using the Bluetooth Serial Port Profile. The circuit is based on the Hans DeLoof Locobuffer RS232/USB design and uses the same printed circuit board.
Hans DeLoof LocobufferThe Bluetooth interface is supplied by the BlueSMiRF Gold module from SparkFun Electronics. It provides a radio transceiver, Bluetooth Stack, and TTL level serial interface in one convenient module. When properly configured, the BlueSMiRF module will look like a conventional serial port in Windows and other operating systems.
