BlueStack1 available now!

As we are releasing BlueSpotDV soon, the boards to make the magic happen is available now. Just like it’s small brother (blueStack-Micro and BlueStack-micro+), it makes your cellphone the mobile hotspot you have been waitinh for!!

Just take the UNO or Megaboard, and place this board on top. Then just place the dual-bandradio (dvmega.auria.nl) on top. Once you loaded the latest firmware for this BlueSpotDV, you will be able to pair your smartphone with it, and do nice QSO’s on DMR and D-Star.

The board has a few connections available:

  • DC-jack, which powers all boards, use this to make sure you have low-loss/low-heat regulation.
  • 3-screw-terminal-strip. Connect a switch to the strip to make it switch on/off. 1:NC, 2:C, 3:NO
  • RJ11 external battery-connection. BluePack will come soon as well, high capacity battery-pack to feed all units!
  • Download the Firmware Here!
  • Buy the board Here!
  • User manual Here!

Connecting Bluetooth, select device BlueStack, and use pin: 1234

Building the next generation : BlueStacK!

Last couple of weeks all elektronic circuits have been tested, and proven to be ok. Now the time has come to finetune the diagrams, and design the circuitboards.

What to expect?

Well just follow the blogs here, and you’ll be amazed what stuff will come out, and I do not mean my stuff only!

Project1: Bluetooth connectivity to cell-phone with a nice new app of PA7LIM. The board designed for this has a few nice extra’s. 1: Bluetooth module integrated, 2: Low-heat voltage-regulator so we don’t have hot boards anymore. 3: stack your repeater-board, or GMSK on top, the board fits in between Arduino and other hardware designed by Guus, PE1PLM. 4: Connection to a battery-pack with integrated charger. Add massive power to your repeater or AMBE.

Project2: Same as project 1, but has extra’s like a full control-unit for audio, led’s as indicators, and option to use a yeasu or Icom microphone. Send DTMF to control your connection, which you also can with the dtmf-project.

Join our website for updates, so we all keep you posted!

Welcome..

Good day to you all!

Today I started my new website to make my projects more open and available for all of you interested in radio and electronics. The purpose is to share and show my latest projects on HAM-radio, share manuals and put some demo-movies online.

I will start later this week, writing about MyDTMF, and the next upcoming project.

 

Enjoy!
