One of the most capable Bluetooth modules available, the BT-21 Bluetooth
OEM Module is designed for maximum flexibility. The BT-21 module
includes 14 general purpose input/output lines, several serial interface
options, analog-to-digital inputs, and up to 2M bps data throughput.
The BT-21 is a surface mount PCB module that provides fully embedded,
ready to use Bluetooth wireless technology. The reprogrammable flash
memory contains embedded firmware for serial cable replacement using the
Bluetooth SPP profile. Other popular Bluetooth profiles, such as OBEX, are
also available.
