  * If using a bluetooth-to-serial converter, don't forget to configure its baudrate to 9600 for the Merlin/Orion head

+=== AIRCable bluetooth-serial converters ===
+
+If you are using the [http://www.aircable.net/serial.html Serial3] device from AIRCable, it is very easy to set the correct baudrate, using the dip switches. Here is the correct configuration:
+
+''TODO''
+
+On the other hand, the [http://www.aircable.net/mini-os.html MiniOS] device is a little bit tricker to configure, as it does not have dip switches. There are two ways to configure it:
+
+* connecting to the internal command-line interpretor
+* editing the config.txt file
+
+The AIRCable MiniOS is badly documentated. Unlike other AIRCable modules (except the SMD one, which is in fact used in the MiniOS), you can't connect to the interpretor through the serial line; you must establish a bluetooth serial link (using your bluetooth tools, like Bluesoleil), and, during the first 60 s of the connection, launch a terminal emulator on the BT emulated port (COM5 or something like that) and hit '''+++<Enter>'''. Then, you should see something like:
+
+{{{
+AIRcable OS command line v0.5 
+Type h to see the list of commands 
+AIRcable> 
+}}}
+
+Then, hit '''u''', and change the baudrate to 9600 (enter '''96'''). Reboot it ('''r'''), and that's it.
+
+If you have troubles to connect to through the BT serial link, you can also use '''obex''' or '''obexftp''' tools to download the config.txt file stored on teh device, modify it, and upload it again. In this ascii file, change the paramter number '''7''' like this:
+
+{{{
+// baud rate, stop bits, parity
+@0007 = 0027 0000 0000 
+}}}
