The Bluetooth module provides TTL level UART interface which is supported by almost every microcontroller in the market. It is also designed to be compatible with most popular Arduino controller. Simply plug into Arduino IO Expansion Shield, a Bluetooth Arduino is ready to use. Specification               Chips: CSR BC417143  Bluetooth Protocol: Bluetooth Specification v2.0 +EDR  Working Frequency: 2.4‐2.48GHz unlicensed ISM Band  Modulation Mode: GFSK (Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying)  Power: ≤4dBm, Class 2  Transmission Distance: 20‐30 in free space  Sensitivity: ≤‐84 dBm at 0.1% BER  Transmission rate: Asynchronous: 2.1 Mbps (Max)/160 kbps; Synchronous: 1Mbps/1Mbps  Security: Authentication and encryption  Support profiles: Bluetooth serial port  LED indicator: LINK  Power Supply: +3.5V‐+8V DC/50 mA  Working Temperature: ‐20°C‐+55°C  Dimension: 43x19.3x11mm  PinOut Pin  Definition   GND  GND   VCC  3.5‐8V DC   RXD  RX (TTL Level)   TXD  TX (TTL Level)       Set module in AT mode How to enter into AT mode The DF-Bluetooth V3 module has two switches on the module.   The NO.1 switch is used to set the LINK‐LED on/off for power saving.   The NO.2 switch(AT mode) is used to control the Bluetooth module   o In AT mode  o In Functional mode  So if you turn the NO.2 switch on, you can use the AT mode to set the Bluetooth module, e.g. name, baud rate, master/slave mode etc. Preparation    USB to TTL Converter x1  Bluetooth module x1  Software: CoolTerm, you can also use Arduino IDE serial monitor    http://freeware.the‐meiers.org/  Steps Part 1: Ready to go        USB to TTL module  1. 2. 3. 4. Plug the Bluetooth module into the USB to TTL module;  Turn on the AT mode switch of the Bluetooth module;  Connect the USB to TTL module to your computer;  Install the driver for the USB to Serial module if it can't be recognized.  Part 2: Setting    After connecting the module to computer, we can use CoolTerm software to talk with Bluetooth module. 1. Click Connection ‐‐> Choose Options to set several parameters in CoolTerm.  2. Set Serial Port   1. Port: the port number can be got from the Device Manager of the computer  2. Baudrate: 38400  3. Data Bits: 8  4. Parity : none  5. Stop Bits: 1  3. Set Terminal   1. Terminal Mode: Line Mode  2. Key Emulation: CR+LF  Set Serial Port     Set Terminal   Part 3: Setting      Send AT command & return value  Now use the CoolTerm to send AT commands to the Bluetooth Module and see what information the Bluetooth will answer to the computer. For example:   Input: at   Return: OK   Input: at+name=DFRobot   Return: OK   Input: at+name?   Return:+name: DFRobot OK   Input: at+role=0   Return: OK    Input: at+role?   Return: +role:0 OK    AT+PSWD?  +PSWD:1234 OK   AT+ORGL (Restore the default setting:)  Return: OK     AT+UART=115200,0,0 Return: OK   o Param1: baud rate (bits/s) 4800/ 9600/ 19200/ 38400/ 57600/ 115200/ 230400/  460800/ 912600/ 1382400   o Param2: stop bit , 0‐ 1 bit/ 1‐ 2 bits   o Param3: parity bit, 0‐ None/ 1‐ Odd/ 2‐ Even   AT+RESET  Return: OK    Default setting   1.

Serial port: 38400 bits/s; 1 stop bit, no parity (In datasheet, it said the default baud rate  is 9600 which is wrong.)  6. Pairing code: “1234”   7. Device name: “HHW‐SPP‐1800‐2  More AT command can be obtained from the TEL0026_Datasheet. http://image.dfrobot.com/image/data/TEL0026/TEL0026_Datasheet.pdf Part 4: Exit AT mode    Please turn the AT mode switch off and then repower the Bluetooth module. Tutorial The DF-Bluetooth module is based on the specification of Bluetooth V2.0, compatible with V1.1. A Bluetooth adaptor is required to communicate with the DF-Bluetooth module. When it is paired with other Bluetooth devices, the DF-Bluetooth is always set to slave mode. The IVT BlueSoleil is recommended to manager all your Bluetooth devices. STEPS   Step 1: Connect a Bluetooth adapter to the computer so that the computer can find the Bluetooth module. Step 2: Put the Bluetooth module on the Arduino board Step 3: Open BlueSoleil software (Figure 1) and right click the yellow ball in the centre screen, click “Search Devices” , an icon named EPBMX-COM will appear after few seconds. The EPBMX-COM is the DF-Bluetooth module. Figure 1  Step 4: Right click EPBMX-COM icon, click “Pair”. A window will popup ask for PassKey which is “1234” by default (Figure 2).LINK-LED on the Bluetooth will blink if the Pair is successful and the LED is on. Figure 2  Step 5: Right click EPBMX-COM, click “Search Service”. Then a serial port will appear and right click EPBMX-COM again and choose the choice “Connect Bluetooth Serial Port (C0MXX)” and you can see the LINK-LED on the Bluetooth will be lit if the LED switch is on.   Figure 3  Step 6: Upload test code to Arduino. Please unplug the Bluetooth module from the Arduino board while uploading test code. void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); //Set serial baud rate to 9600 } void loop() { Serial.print("Hello!"); delay(1000); //print out hello string //1 second delay } Result   Plug the Bluetooth module on the Arduino board again after finishing uploading the codes. Then open the serial monitor to see what Arduino is sending to Bluetooth module. You can also use CoolTerm to check the communication. Figure 4 NOTE: 1. Check the serial setting! Make sure the baud rate is set to 9600 on both master and slave.  2. When the DF‐Bluetooth is used on Arduino, please make sure you disconnect the DF‐ Bluetooth module before uploading any code to your Arduino. Or it will fail to upload any  sketch as the DF‐Bluetooth module occupying the TX/RX pins.  For any question/ advice/ cool idea to share with us, please visit DFRobot Forum Powered By DFRobot © 2008-2017
