LMAO at germany. Apparently, my board is the bluetooth device "Amp'ed Up!" and that name appears nowhere in the documentation. It seems the engineers decided to be "cutesy" and call the board something abstract and totally unrelated to the board itself - AND THEN NOT EVEN DOCUMENT IT! My "mistake" was to look for the board name something related to "application" or "development" or even "bosch" but that never appeared, making the board seem undiscoverable. I guess the engineers figure other engineers go around trying to connect to every bluetooth device that pops up. Not like that isn't a privacy concern or anything. The only way i found this was to take the laptop and dev board to a clean room and that stupid "Amp'ed Up!" device followed, and I decided to try to connect to it. It popped up a 5 digit code, but there was no way to confirm that either. What part of the board shows that code? The last hurdle was that the board then added 2 com ports to windows, and I had to "trial and error" them to find the one that would communicate. This doesn't seem like the product of competent engineers to me. Competent engineers would a) make a name that is related in some way to the device, b) actually document the name used, and c) give some sort of indication on the com ports which one communicates to the sensor. All in all, TWO WEEKS wasted trying to get bluetooth to connect for something as silly as "Amp'ed Up!" in the naming scheme.
