[Myro-users] swapping UART0 and UART1

[Dustin Torres]

Thanks Keith! The Fluke was being held in reset. I have now switched the two
UARTs so commands are read from the DB9 serial. Currently nothing is done
with UART1 -- Bluetooth.

I am looking to do something other than pairing the bluetooth with a PC
host, such as possibly connecting two Flukes over BT. I was only able to
find the datasheet for the Bluecore4 and not much in terms of development on
embedded systems. Is the API for this open?

Thanks,
Dustin
