Once I learnt more and more about bluetooth, I fostered a desire of writing on bluetooth. Now that my desire has been fulfilled, I hope your desire for its information too has been fulfilled.

How Bluetooth Works



Bluetooth devices will normally operate at 2.4 GHZ
in the license free, globally available ISM radio
band. The advantage to this band includes worldwide
availability and compatibility. A disadvantage to
this however, is that the devices must share this
band with other RF emitters. This includes
automobile security systems, other wireless devices,
and bluetooth wireless other noise sources, such as microwaves.


To overcome bluetooth wireless this challenge, Bluetooth employs a
fast frequency hopping scheme and therefore uses
shorter packets than other standards within the
ISM band. This scheme helps to make Bluetooth
communication more robust and more secure.


Frequency hopping
Frequency hopping is basically jumping from frequency
to frequency within the ISM radio band. After a
bluetooth device sends or receives a packet, it
and the device (or devices) it's communicating with
hop to another frequency before the next packet is
sent. This scheme offers three advantages:
1. Allows Bluetooth devices to use the
entirety of the available ISM band, while never
transmitting from a fixed frequency for more than a
short period of time. This helps insure that
Bluetooth conforms to the ISM bluetooth restrictions on the
transmission quantity per frequency.
2. Ensures that any interference won't
last long. Any packet that doesn't arrive safely
to its destination can be resent to the next
frequency.
3. Provides a base level of security as
it's very hard for an eavesdropping device to predict
which frequency the Bluetooth devices will use
next.


The connected devices however, must agree upon the
frequency they will use next. The specification
in Bluetooth ensures this in two ways. First, it
defines a master and slave type relationship between
bluetooth devices. Next, it specifies an algorithm
that uses device specific information when
calculating the frequency hop sequences.


A Bluetooth device that operates in master mode can
communicate with up to seven devices that are set in
slave mode. To each of the slaves, the master
Bluetooth device will send its own unique address
and the value of its own internal clock. The
information sent is then used to calculate the
frequency hop sequences.


Because bluetooth the master device and each of the slave
devices use the same algorithm with the same initial
input, the connected devices will always arrive
together at the next frequency that they have agreed
upon.


As a replacement for cable technology, it's no
wonder that Bluetooth devices are usually battery
powered, such as wireless mice and battery powered
cell phones. To conserve the power, most devices
operate in low power. This helps to give Bluetooth
devices a range of around 5 - 10 meters.


This bluetooth range bluetooth wireless is far enough for bluetooth headphones wireless communication
but bluetooth printer close enough to avoid drawing too much power
from the power source of the device bluetooth printer.

    Starry Night BlueStar Adapter for Meade LX200 and RCX400 Telescopes



    Starry Night BlueStar Adapter for Meade LX200 and RCX400 Telescopes
    Wireless communication meets computerized telescope control with the introduction of the BlueStar telescope adapter. Now you can command your computerized telescope from your laptop wirelessly. The BlueStar adapter eliminates the RS-232 cable that normally connects the telescope and computer, giving you enhanced range and freedom of movement. BlueStar works with most major brands of computerized telescopes, allowing complete wireless control using the dynamic graphical interface of Starry Night Pro or similar astronomy software on your computer. The adapter plugs into the hand controller's RS-232 port and has a range of up to 30 feet. It requires a Bluetooth-enabled computer (or an inexpensive Bluetooth module, available at computer stores) running Windows XP or Mac OS X operating system. Included are BlueStar adapter, CD-ROM with driver software, installation card, and cable for your specific telescope. Requires two AA batteries (not included).
