Integrating emStat Pico in to a custom system

Question

Hello, 
 
 I am designing a custom system that have a microprocessor and Bluetooth module. Basically, I want to transfer the output data of the emStat pico to the microprocessor, then I will send all data to a PC with Bluetooth and other digitized data. Which communication protocol should I use and which pins are responsible for this purposes? 
 
 Thank you,

Hi, 
 For communication with the EmStat Pico the UART interface is used using only 3 pins: Rx (p2), Tx(p3) and GND(p28). 
 The complete pin assignments are listed in the datasheet: 
 EmStat Pico - Electrochemical interface module (palmsens.com) 
 The basic communication protocol is described in: 
 EmStat Pico communication protocol V1.3 (palmsens.com) 
 The MethodScript protocol is described in: 
 MethodSCRIPT communication protocol v1.3 (palmsens.com) 
 Please let us know if more is needed! 
 Kind regards, 
 Walter

You can send a MethodScript from the processor to the Pico and the script will return the data back to the processor. There is a possibility to store the script to the flash (NVM) and then execute the script after a reset. 
 There are examples on:
