Bluetooth Classic support (HC-05) - feature request #14

Hi, great app and mod! I own UT61C and believe that serial format is the same so I guess I can use this app. The problem is that I have hc-05 on hand and it's bluetooth-classic device not BLE. My question is - can you add support for HC-05 like devices? Additional info: hc-05 is not discoverable trough your app but works fine with everything else that uses COM port as communication like the app for pc

I have heard that it works with a UT61D, so I would also guess that it indeed works with the whole UT61 series, including UT61C.

Sorry, I am not planning to add bluetooth classic support. While it would be certainly possible it is a lot of work, because the interface is completely different. It is just not worth it for me to put the time into this outdated technology. In addition it consumes more power, this would reduce the battery life even further, 9V blocks don't have much capacity... I would strongly recommend to just buy a BLE module and use the HC-05 for some other project ;). But thanks for bringing this up, sometimes I get emails about this, so now it is here publicly stated. I am accepting pull requests though, if someone wants to implement it.
