Megasquirt Bluetooth

Hi,
Looking for bluetooth connectivity for my MS1 V3 initially for a laptop then an Android tablet.

The LM048/58 which looks as though it works seems expensive and the one on TS is also pricey when you include postage
The BT-232B-E on Ebay looks reasonable on price but has anybody used it successfully?

Do these need any hardware mods on the board?

Thanks

I used that adapter and it worked fine.

Not sure whether the serial port on the V3 is wired up to power the adapter (I used a separate power supply, but I have earlier MS unit).

Thanks for the info
I think that the RS232 port has 5v on one of the pins on the MS1 V3

scuderfish had a webpage with some information (a wiki thing) where I put some information.

I can't find it now, but I guess Dave will be along.

No reason why not. If it works with one Android app, it should work with them all.

Did you make any hardware mods to make it work on the MS1 V3 i.e connect pins 7 and 8 of the DB9 together?
