PAN1323EMK

– Bluetooth Evaluation Kit for MSP430BT5190 - This kit is an upgrade

to PAN1315EMK (no longer available)

The kit, when coupled with 2 MSP430F5438A Experimenter boards, enables early software and hardware

prototyping capabilities for wireless embedded applications.

The PAN1323EMK user guide is located on our wiki

– click here

Users may download the Bluetooth software named MSP430+CC2560 Software Development Kit (SDK)

which includes Mindtree's Ethermind Bluetooth stack, serial port profile (SPP) and embedded sample

applications running on Free RTOS. Click here for Software Download. One of the sample applications

uses the accelerometer on the Experimenter board to remotely control a PC based game. The SDK also

includes sample applications for transmitting temperature readings between Bluetooth devices and

displaying RF link quality parameters on the Experimenter board LCD. The combination of sample

applications in source format and the peripheral rich Experimenter board makes this platform a versatile

tool for extensive prototyping and easy development of applications that want to use Bluetooth

connectivity.

This kit is an upgraded version of the PAN1315EMK. The PAN1323 ETUs will be used for evaluation of

different software configurations as they become available. Possible combinations are Bluetooth classis,

Bluetooth + ANT+ (separate kit available), and in the future Bluetooth + BLE. The PAN1323 that comes

with the kit is for evaluation only. For production, customers will need to use the Panasonic PAN1315,

PAN1325, PAN1317 or PAN1327 modules.
