What Is BlueM

BlueM is a bluetooth adapter custom designed for M100/T102/T200 and PC-8201. It is based on the RN-42 bluetooth module from Roving Networks.

BlueM may be ordered with one of two power options - either directly powered from the M100 via BCR port,

...or via external 9V battery.

Since BlueM is really just a repackaged RN-42, here is the instruction manual. Keep in mind REX ships with the serial port pre-set to 19200 8N1.

Also note, that the RN-42 does not listen to XON/XOFF flow control protocol, and will overrun TELCOM with data when trying to interface with the built in commands. HTERM, developed by John Hogerhuis, uses hardware flow control and is ideal for managing the RN-42/BlueM. This version of HTERM runs at 19200, but is not current with John's main development.
