This guide will walk you through the process of configuring your BlueSnap module with a serial communication terminal on Windows. There are many serial communication terminals available, including JavaTerm and YAT. For this tutorial, we will be using Tera Term on a Windows 10 PC. Tera Term is a free and can be downloaded here.
You will need the following for this tutorial:
- The BlueSnap RS-232 to Bluetooth 2.1 adapter
- A USB to RS-232 adapter cable
