Jake,
your work is simply amazing!!!
if i understand well, your bluetooth board firmware is configured for =20=
serial port profile (SPP)
and you have connected it to serial port 1 of the Newton internal =20
connector, isn't it?
If so,
you do not need PT100 to make tests, NewtSync will work fast and =20
nicely instead.
Some bits of my personal experience about serial to bluetooth are =20
published here:
http://tools.unna.org/wikiwikinewt/index.php/WirelessSerial
If not,
maybe Blunt would be compatible with your board having a firmware =20
configured
for bluetooth 'file transfer' or 'push', instead of 'serial port =20
profile'.
In this case try choosing 'internal port' in Bluetooth Setup =20
preferences window.
[Consider that mine about Blunt are only assumptions, nothing more.
Never had the chance to read some words spent by Mr. K=F6ppen around =20
the argument
although having sent him many mails in the last months]
Note that handshake signals are not necessarily needed:
although most bluetooth adapters have 'hardware handshake' activated =20
by default,
NewtonOS makes use of them expecially when comunicating with =20
keyboards, fax, and some printers
while NCU, NewtSync, Escale, Newten make not any use of handshake =20
signals at all.
About configuring the internal connector, as i never received my =20
samples from JAE
i still have not been able to make tests directly, so i can't be of =20
concrete help to you,
but IIRC when a serial device is connected to the internal 3rd serial =20=
port
you should have it automatically configured as the default serial =20
port, isn't it?
If this not happens, did you try to short the PortSelect [pin1] to =20
GND [pins 29,30,31,32]?
(Please pardon me if you have already tried it)
Your board seems very well made,
and i hope you'll have the chance to put it on production
including the bluetooth audio profile and a socket for an external =20
antenna!
Regards,
Adriano Angelillis

Well folks. I just got it working, and I wanted to share:

Before we get too excited, its just a prototype, and I probably won't
ever mass produce them, but it works, and I'm pretty happy. Some
software issues to work out yet, and maybe one or two more revisions
in hardware... but overall the proof of concept works... I am able to
chat between PT-100 and a Terminal app over Bluetooth.=
