Source Code Released
Effective from December 2006, Crownhill have decided to publicly release the QuickBlue source code previously available as part of the Developer Kit. It will be free to all customers in a pre-compiled HEX file and source code will be available under a license derived from the BSD license model. View it here.
To use the source code, download the ZIP file, and run setup.exe to install the developer package.
Once you've got your source code and you're ready to develop, you can purchase the hardware you'll need from Crownhill's e-commerce site.
The commercial version of QuickBlue Link will continue to be available for those who wish to purchase a ready-built solution.

Crownhill's pioneering product for quick and easy Bluetooth integration. QuickBlue™ Link a fully transparent serial to Bluetooth data link. QuickBlue™ Link easily adds Bluetooth to your product without the need for Bluetooth design. The module contains full RF circuit including integral antenna utilising the CSR chipset fully qualified as a Bluetooth component and PIC™ microcontroller providing a simple to use, plug-in module with serial interface to the host application. Once installed, the module can interface to standard Bluetooth devices, e.g. Laptop computers, PDA’s, Mobile phones etc. Operating in slave mode, it initializes itself and waits for a remote device to connect.
Features
- Out of the box operation serial data link - No configuration required
- Pairs with Bluetooth devices (e.g. PDA’s, PC’s, Phones) as master or slave
- Baud rates 9600 to 115K baud
- Hardware flow control or no flow control
- Bluetooth PIN code and encryption preset
- Bluetooth error correction layer
- Class I Bluetooth radio, upto 100m range
- Integral antenna
Applications
- Direct access to PDA’s, Laptops, Mobile Phones
