Serial port bluetooth module (Master/Slave)

Introduction

This module is an easy to use Bluetooth SPP (Serial Port Protocol) module, designed for transparent wireless serial connections.

The Serial port Bluetooth module is fully qualified Bluetooth V2.0+EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) 3Mbps Modulation with complete 2.4GHz radio transceiver and baseband. It uses CSR Bluecore 04-External single chip Bluetooth system with CMOS technology and with AFH(Adaptive Frequency Hopping Feature). It has a footprint as small as 12.7mmx27mm. Hopefully it will simplify your overall design/development cycle.

Features

Hardware features

• Typical -80dBm sensitivity
• Up to +4dBm RF transmit power
• Low Power 1.8V Operation ,1.8 to 3.6V I/O
• PIO control
• UART interface with programmable baud rate
• Integrated antenna
• Edge connector

Software features

• Default Baud rate: 38400, Data bits:8, Stop bit:1,Parity:No parity, Data control: yes. Supported baud rate:

9600,19200,38400,57600,115200,230400,460800.

• Use CTS and RTS to control data stream.
• Given a rising pulse in PIO0, device will be disconnected.
• Status instruction port PIO1: low-disconnected, high-connected;
• PIO10 and PIO11 can be connected to red and blue LED separately. When master and slave are paired, red

and blue led blinks 1time/2s in interval. While disconnected only blue led blinks 2times/s.

• Auto-connects to the last device on power as default.
• Permits pairing device to connect as default.
• Auto-pairing PINCODE:”0000” as default
• Auto-reconnect in 30 min when disconnected as a result of beyond the range of connection.

Application Ideas

• Remote controller
• Wireless communication
  

Cautions

• While using with Arduino, set the operation voltage to 5V. Else use a proper logic level converter.
• While using with UartSBee, set the operation voltage to 5V.
• Command to change baud rate is persistent even after reset. Hence remember the baud rate for next use.

Commands to change default configuration

1. Set working MODE

\r\n+STWMOD=0\r\n	Set device working mode as client (slave). Save and Rest.
\r\n+STWMOD=1\r\n	Set device working mode as server (master). Save and Rest.

Note: \r\n is necessary for operation and the value of are 0x0D 0x0A in Hex. \r and \n represent carriage-return and line-feed(or next line),

2.Set BAUDRATE

\r\n+STBD=115200\r\n	Set baudrate 115200. Save and Rest.
Supported baudrate: 9600, 19200,38400,57600,115200,230400,460800.

3. Set Device NAME

\r\n+STNA=abcdefg

Set device name as “abcdefg”. Save and Rest.

4. Auto-connect the last paired device on power

\r\n+STAUTO=0\r\n	Auto-connect forbidden. Save and Rest.
\r\n+STAUTO=1\r\n	Permit Auto-connect. Save and Rest.

5. Permit Paired device to connect me

\r\n+STOAUT=0\r\n	Forbidden. Save and Rest.

Additional Idea

How to set up connections between two BluetoothBee step by step

Terminal tool run on PC: sscom32E.exeDownload

• 1. Connect two BluetoothBee to PC through UartSB.(Green led blinks 2times/1s)

• 2. Open two sscom32E terminals and set the configuration as following.

• 3. Set one Bluetooth as master and start inquiring.

(1) Choose SendNew and click SEND with empty data. (This actually is to send “\r\n”)

(2) Set Bluetooth as master

(3) Send “\r\n” as (1)

(4) Make master start inquiring. (Green and Red Led blink 2times/1s in interval)

• 4. Set the other Bluetooth as slave and enable been inquired.

(1) Send “\r\n”

(2) Set Bluetooth as slave

(3) Send “\r\n”

(4) Enable slave been inquired. (Green and Red Led blink 2times/1s in interval)

• 5. At this point, you will find in the master terminal will display info like following:

The info +WENDY may be the Bluetooth of somebody’s cellphone.

The info +RTINQ=0,18,E4,24,90,4;SK00MSE means the master has searched a Bluetooth device (slave) with the address “0,18,E4,24,90,4” and the name “SK00MSE”.

• 6. Connect to the slave. (In master terminal)

(1) Send “\r\n”

(2) Connect to the slave as following

If the green led on master and slave is blinking 1time/2s, congratulations, you have established the connection between Bluetooth. And now you can send any info to each other.

• 7. How to disconnect two devices.

The default configuration will make two paired Bluetooth auto connect when powered. If you want to disconnect them, you may need to pull PIO0 high.

Note: To make configuration work properly, the critical part is to send “\r\n” before and after the command. “\r\n” is 0x0D 0x0A in hex, which means return and next row.

One another way to send the command is all in hex mode like following:
