You will not find one powered only by the serial port. Bluetooth needs more power than can be suckedSlightly off-topic, but it's a question people here might know better than
anyone on the planet.
I'm after a Class 1, bluetooth v2 (must also do v1.2) adapter for serial
ports (DB9). Needs SPP profile, no other profiles required, but they might
be useful. Baud rates from 1200 to as high as possible, and must include
57600).
It must be powered entirely from a standard PC computer's port, with no
unusual wiring or external supply. Having trawled Google many times looking
for something to bypass all the software nonsense trying to get something
that will install W98 drivers, I decided it must NOT have a need for any
drivers at all. I thought I'd found a good answer, then found that the
config program MUST have .net framework! Pretty stupid for a device someone
might want to run from OpenBSD, or DOS, no?
Has anyone got a nice definitive sort of answer for this? I'm prepared to
spend up to $100 (Ł50, and cheaper would be cool...) for a device that can
allow me to operate exactly as if I'd just plugged a cable to a DB9, with
no strange wiring or power requirements, no driver requirements, and ALL
config, if any is needed, easily done by communicating with it by text
commands written in a terminal emulator.
Please don't point me to links and general possibilities, I can easily find
too many of those on Google to choose easily, and still find nasty gotchas
like .net requirements that are not openly declared. I'm asking here hoping
for answers from people who use these things, and already know firsthand
what works best and most easily, and is completely independent from the
host operating system.
Just fixing the e-mail address again.

I suppose you might get away with it for a true (desktop) type RS232, depending on data duty cycle.
I can email you the instruction sheet for this unit if you want.
I'd be using them on PC's with 12V signalling, so I think they'd be ok.
Yes pleas, that will help. I have a gmail address in the same name I use
Hello, I think your 40pin i.c. is simply an ICL7107 multimeter display

Here's one for 40 bucks buy-it-now.

I was involved with some tests on EEPROMs, many years ago (back in the
days when the 2716, was 'new' technology).
We had 32 test chips, and put them on the lab windowsill for six
months, without a single bit error.
However we also put another set out in direct sunlight. On these, two
had bit errors after 3 months, and at the end of the test, five showed
errors.
The difference,the glass in the lab windows.
Ordinary glass is quite opaque to the required frequency (253.7nm), so
it is unlikely that chips will get erased in normal room lighting, or
from daylight through windows, but if the unit is outdorrs, the Sun,
does have the energy to cause problems over a long period.

If you remember that all the exposed semiconductor junctions, _do_
have the ability to behave as photodiodes, I'd guess that the light
was fractionally altering the bias current somewhere in the die. A
very 'unusual' fault!...
