Hello,
My new laptop does not have a serial port. I have purchased a Parani SD200 serial to blutooth adaptor with battery pack that works real well with all of my RS232 controlled devices except one of course! My MegaJolt V3 does not comunicate with this device.
I did set the baud rate at 4800 , no flow control. I dio get the "timeout reading runtime data" message. Maybe I am missing something?
Anyway, here is the link to the Parani SD200 technical page http://www.sena.com/download/datasheet/ds_parani_sd.pdf .
If anyone has a minute to look into this, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
bluetooth/RS232 adapter

Hello Brent,
I bought it in the UK from Merlin Wireless but I guess that in the US, you can go direct to www.sena.com .
It works great. Its performance is not affected by the HV sparks. Very steady transmission. I am actually using the SD200 with the battery pack which may help reducing interferences.

Nice, I like that. I have a bunch of bluetooth stuff, phone, headphones(music and talk), home stereo gateway and car stereo. All for the purpose of music, but this is a cool concept for the Megajolt.
This one can be powered through pin9 of the serial port: http://www.ipenabled.com/firefly.html
It seems a little pricey($75), but for those that have laptop interference problems, this would be ideal. Bluetooth is a robust and underused technology.
