The 3Digi provides the ability to connect a Bluetooth module for communication with the Bluetooth app or a laptop.
This module can be easily prepared from inexpensive general-available Bluetooth boards.
The Terminal program supports modules of the type HC06 directly. This module can then be configured directly from the setting program and the PIN can be changed. Read the chapter "Bluetooth module" in the 3Digi user guide for further information. Here is a small excerpt from the text:
The Bluetooth Module HC-06 is especially supported by the 3Digi. The required module settings can be made from 3Digi Terminal. For this connect the module to the special port. Then connect the setting program via USB connection to the 3Digi. By calling the menu Extras|Special|Init Bluetooth module HC06 the initialization of the HC-06 is performed automatically and the appropriate commands for the module will be sent.
Other modules can be used if they have the following settings:
- 115.200 Bit/s
- 8 data bits
- No parity
- 1 stop bit
The following wires must be connected between the module and the 3Digi:
3Digi | Module |
---|---|
3,3V | VCC |
GND | GND |
TXD | RXD |
RXD | TXD |
The socket build on the 3Digi is of type JST ZH 4-pin.
After the connection of the cables the bluetooth module should be protected with shrink tubing.
