[Elecraft] Bluetooth interface for the KX3

[David Ek]

Hi all,

I thought it might be a fun project to design and build a 
bluetooth-serial interface that I could use to control my KX3 using my 
Android tablet. If this sounds interesting to you, you can read about 
the project here:

There's a PC board available for the project from FAR Circuits, and I 
designed the board so that it would fit nicely into an enclosure that 
has a 9V battery compartment. Of course, you could build it however 
you'd like.

I designed the interface for the KX3, but it could easily be interfaced 
to any other device having a serial port. I've already built a second 
one to use with my computerized telescope.

There really isn't much yet for apps available that'll drive the KX3 
from Android, but that's my next project...
