I've had my Eggfinder put together and working well for my L1 cert kit. Buld thread: https://www.rocketryforum.com/showthread.php?131715-Binder-Design-Excel-Plus-54mm-Build-Thread
I have the USB cable connected to my phone and get NMEA data just fine. I've been wanting to try out the wireless Bluetooth option to more elegantly use the system with an app like Rocket Locator. So I replaced the cable with an HC-06 module. It powers up and syns with the transmitter and then pairs with my phone (also tested with my laptop). However, I can't seem to receive any data from it now using either my phone or my laptop.
To troubleshoot, I took the bluetooth module off and put the USB cable back on. Again, good gps data received when using terminal apps or putty on my laptop. I put the Bluetooth module back on and poof, no data received. It did pair again, though. I wonder if I got a bad module? Or am I missing something in the setup? I thought simply pairing with my phone and using a bluetooth gps app would do it.
Or maybe I got the wrong bluetooth module? I got a standard HC-06 slave. This is what I got:

I also can't seem to find it assigned to a COM port on my laptop when it was paired.
