hi guys,
i am a new user in this site and this seems to a good site.
and i am trying to do this mini project on blue tooth enabled temperature sensor.
i think it is an awesome idea but the thing is i am in my 2nd year only and my knowledge level in ECE is very limited.
i have managed to gather some material but can't make much of it.
so i am asking you my doubts hoping you will be patient and clear my doubts.
so here goes:

so here goes:
DOUBTS:
(1) the process starts off with a thermal sensor, followed by adder,amplifier and rectifier.I have no problems with these components but then one has to go on to use PIC16F877 whose nature, charachteristics, uses i do not know. but the specifications given are RS232 Standard,iSPA (which still does not make sense to me ). and that PIC also requires some programming and testing. programming :L.E.T PicBasic Pro,PICALL. testing :A/D,USART.
(2). there is another component whose necessity i am not aware off: Impulsesoft Serial Port Adapter (iSPA). the info i have says that it acts as a COM port.
(3) then there is this PCMCIA Card also which sounds like greek and latin to me.
(4) i also want to know about the Data acquisition from COM port, PIC programming.
thanks for reading the entire post.
do try and post some answer if you are aware of any of these topics.
again thanks for your patience.
looking forward to your reply.
thanks in advance,
