Bluetooth systems --> "XBee base and modules" vs "BlueSMiRF modules"

[Pototo]

Hello,

I am trying to get some bluetooth module in order to interface my computer with my robot.

I have found in Sparkfun the XBee bluetooths and the BlueSMiRF bluetooths.

Which one is recommended for this project

it seems like if I get the BlueSMiRF, then I can get a usb dongle and then connected it to my computer. But it seems that with the XBee I need two XBee base and remote modules and an usb cable to connect one module to my computer.


What do you guys recommend??


Or if you some a better idea or some other devices please let tell me as well.


thank you.

Depends entirely on your application, your hardware, and your requirements, none of which you mention

My suggestion is to start reading datasheets, learn what they talk about, and finally decide what you think fits you better. I chose bluetooth for my ERP . . .

ps - XBee isn't Bluetooth

If i could figure out how to get the bluesmirf to do wireless programming then i would say that! but until then i'm using the xbee protocol
