This is awesome news, I've been wanting one of these for a while, and this even has some extras! Now I will just need a serial interface :)

I'd like to test CPC/mini booster on PCW, just need to make a bus adaptator.I am not sure it would be compatible but that can be interesting (to communicate with PC or CPC via bluetooth <3 )

Are the busses compatible? If so this would be a cool idea.


BTW one thing I forgot to mention - the new AY PCW board from Pulkomandy does have a joystick interface too :)

Yes, as it's the Habi design. See more information on this topic:

That's not that easy. The Bluetooth works in Slave mode, so you can only connect to a PC (Master).

Nope, all depends used module, HC-06 only works in slave mode where HC-05 can be slave or master.I made tests with both , it is possible to use theses modules to connect CPC/PCW without PC.

These are good news Fano.  :)  Thanks for testing. Maybe you also can post a link to such a "master" bluetooth module. (I only found slave modules).

Maybe not the cheapest but this is an example : Serial HC 05 Wireless Bluetooth Transceiver Host Slave Integration CP06011 H24 | (http://www.ebay.fr/itm/Serial-HC-05-Wireless-Bluetooth-Transceiver-Host-Slave-integration-CP06011-H24-/271412145467?pt=Wissenschaftliche_Ger%C3%A4te&hash=item3f316cad3b)


It must be a HC-05 module (AT commands differs from slave only HC-06 modules) , theses modules owns generaly 6 pins (there is a "KEY" pin used to enter in command mode that is usefull to scan for pairable devices)
