With the use of Bluetooth products in daily life, some product developers will often use Arduino to develop with the HC-05 Bluetooth module. How to program the HC-05 Module with Arduino?
Now take Feasycom's HC-05 (FSC-BT826) module as an example:
The FSC-BT826 (HC-05 module) is powered by 3.6-6V and the logic voltage level of the data pins is 3.3V. But the I/O output of the Arduino board is 5V. In order not to burn the Bluetooth module, the Bluetooth module RXD and Arduino I/O output needed to Series connect with resistance, as Figure 1 shows. On the other hand, the Bluetooth module TXD and Arduino I/O Input can be connected directly because the 3.3V signal from the FSC-BT826 (HC-05 module) is enough to be accepted as a high logic at the Arduino Board.
We can provide the source code of an example that is based on the self-contained example named “SoftwareSerialExample” in Arduino UNO IDE. The program initialization of the example is set forth below.
Program Initialization
There is a software analog serial port class in file <SoftwareSerial.h>, we need to contain
this head file and declare a SoftwareSerial object.
In the setup() method, we made some initialization:
- 1. Set the LED_PIN to output mode.
- 2. Set the LED_PIN to low level.
- 3. Set baudrate of serial port and start the communication between your computer and Arduino board.
- 4. Iterate over baudrates to get the UART baudrate of the HC05 and start the communication between Arduino board and HC05.
