NEW EZURIO FIRMWARE SUPPORTS 7BIT DATA TRANSMISSION!

Due to the continuing success of Bluetooth (BT) in both mobile phones and PCs, this means of short-range radio communication is becoming increasingly popular in other applications as well.

However, to keep up with the growing number of potential applications, the module firmware must be able to support different types of serial interfaces and protocols. With the release of EZURIO's newest firmware version for its BT modules, the company offers a solution that supports a variety of different transmission rates, at the same time enabling both 8bit and 7bit communication. As a result, it is now even easier to replace cable with Bluetooth in integrated systems.


  Thanks to their ease of integration, EZURIO's Bluetooth modules have already gained a large following. With a complete BT protocol stack and a simple AT command set integrated within the modules, development times can now be reduced to a matter of hours, instead of stretching for days or even weeks. EZURIO development engineers have reported a BT integration time of less than 30 minutes for a standard RS-232 connection!

In the past, customers frequently asked EZURIO if legacy RS-232 connections operating with non-standard transmission rates and 7-bit data formats could also be replaced with BT modules, thus prompting the company to redevelop its firmware to satisfy this demand. As a result, customers with long product lifecycles now have a means of integrating Bluetooth into their applications regardless of the legacy solution's age.

"We have customers in the embedded market who bought wireless solutions from us 10 years ago, when we were still with TDK. That's why so many customers now recognize us as their long-term wireless partner," says Chris Shannon, CEO of EZURIO.
It is clear that EZURIO has a lot in common with CODICO, since we have been a specialized distributor serving the electronics market for over 20 years. Your guarantee of receiving the very best, easiest to use and most cost-effective solutions over a period of years - and not just months - is to go with CODICO!

I would be pleased to tell you more!
