So I'm looking at the Tutorial videos for my father who is interested in this kit...
I see a typical "Linvor" type Bluetooth interface on the board, so I've got a pretty good idea of what to expect from the connection.. (or so I thought.)
The instructions indicate to connect the software to the lowest COM port, (Usually the Incoming port on the PC) to make connection with the software.
My understanding of this type of connection is that the Bluetooth protocol allows either one direction or the other to be used at a time. Had this project solved this issue in the software on the Windows side, or is this a limitation dad can expect?

@Oldbitcollector Hello, and welcome to the ez-robot
Tthe connection is SPP profile of bluetooth, which is your serial communication. Rather than re-inventing the wheel, we use a serial communication. Now you can either use Xbee, Synapse, Bluetooth or Wifi because we use Serial.
When you add the bluetooth to your computer, it will detect two COM ports. The lowest of the two communication ports is used for communication between the EZ-B and your computer. The communication is bi-directional - as the ez-b and computer are in a constant discussion.
You can watch the connection tutorial on our tutorials section which should answer any questions you may have.
