Devices have become increasingly more interconnected to their surroundings over the last few years. The introduction of Bluetooth is likely to further accelerate this trend. With Bluetooth’s bandwidth and expected low price, many devices will likely be fitted with Bluetooth chips and thus enable more devices to exchange data.This master thesis aims at connecting a Personal Digital Assistant to an ARM Thumb microcontroller over Bluetooth. To the ARM Thumb shall an image capturing device be interfaced and the captured images shall be sent over Bluetooth to the Personal Digital Assistant which shall display them.
