Bluetooth cartridge for Nintendo DS

[wraggster]

We’ve received tips from a few different people about a new Bluetooth module that connects as a game cartridge for the Nintendo DS. This is a homebrew solution and not an official Nintendo add-on. The cartridge houses an ATmega168 microcontroller which provides the interface between the DS and a Roving Networks RN-41 bluetooth module.

They’ve provided a schematic for the device but we didn’t see any board artwork or pictures of the internals so you’re on your own for board layout. The libraries needed to use the bluetooth connection with homebrew software are up for download. This should provide a nice way to use the DS with a Bluetooth GPS module, or perhaps as a discrete Bluetooth sniffer and spoofer.

What's the point of bluetooth on the dsi (ok, so I can think of a few things, but other than wifi tethering, there's not much to do)

I want this, I would use the hell out of a BT adapter for the ds. stream to my BT headphones, stream my audio projects to my amp... I could just keep going. I wish nintendo had included BT and an accelerometer with the dsi. I would really consider buying one with those 2 addons. Right now though I'm ok with my ds lite. But to anyone developing any sort of bluetooth addons and support for the ds, I will buy from you or support in whatever way I can.
