I just saw the parcel has a bluetooth module. What is this? Is it something XMOS sells? Or just something a 3rd party did? Looks interesting....

The bluetooth module was a proof of concept add on board we made for the XK1 - we dont sell them, but we have the design files here: http://www.xmos.com/published/xk-1-blue ... sign-files which you can download. So we have a limited number of these we made to give away.

National semi makes a very similar module inside a single chip (that includes the antenna too). I played around with them and they are very easy to use. Wrote a .Net app to interface a small robot to my phone using those.

I highly recommend these UART Bluetooth modules.
