I have a small MCU device that communicates to a GPS via standard,
9-pin RS232. There are very inexpensive "dongles" available (under
$10) for PCs to communicate with Bluetooth enabled GPS and other
devices. I would like to implement a Bluetooth interface as an
alternative to 9-pin RS232 for my device. I would be satisfied with
some references to inexpensive modules or chips (under $50) that would
accomplish this. Any MCU application notes or reference material would
be greatly appreciated. I tip pretty well, also.  :)
