Microduino-Shield BT4.0

Microduino-Shield BT 4.0 module is a plug-in device that supports Bluetooth 4.0 low energy standard. Microduino-Shield BT 4.0 module is a bluetooth serial port transparent transmission module, using the 27 PIN standard Microduino interface, supporting the Arduino board and derivatives, such as Microduino core. The module is designed by player ogre_c.

Features

  • Microduino-Shield BT4.0 adopts U type 27 PIN interface of Microduino, combining with other Microduino modult to use;
  • Microduino-Shield BT4.0 chooses the HM-10 BLE as the bluetooth core module;
  • TI CC2540 chip with 256Kb space;
  • Support AT instruction, capable of updating baud rate, device name,paring code and other related parameters as needed, flexible to use;
  • Small, cheap, stackable;
  • Open source hardware circuit design, compatible with the Arduino IDE development environment for programming;
  • With uniformed Microduino interface standard and rich peripheral modules, it is flexible and convenient to have a quick connection and extension with other corresponding Microduino modules and sensors;
  • 2.54 pitch row female connector for easy integration into breadboard.

Specifications

  • Communication form: serial transmission;
  • Power supply:+3.3VDC 50mA;
  • Bluetooth protocol:Bluetooth Specification V4.0 BLE;
  • Service support:Central & Peripheral UUID FFE0,FFE1;
  • Frequency:2.4GHz ISM band;
  • Modulation mode:GFSK(Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying);
  • Power of transmission:≤4dBm;
  • Sensitivity:≤-84dBm at 0.1% BER;
  • Transmission rate:
    • Asynchronous: 6 kbps;
    • Synchronous: 6 kbps;
  • State indicator:
    • Two states:
      • Flashing means that the module has been powered but not matched well.
      • Always lighting means that the module has been matched well and has started communication.
    • By the indicator, it is very easy to the status of the module, which is conveniently.

Serial communication requirements

  • Default serial configuration:
    • Baud rate: 9600
    • No check
    • Data bits: 8
    • Stop bit: 1
  • As for Arduino IDE serial monitor:
    • Set at:"No line terminator"、"9600baud"
  • For other serial debug software:
    • Baud rate: 9600
    • No check
    • Data bits: 8
    • Stop bit: 1
  • We suggest using Microduino-Core32u4 to debug this BT module:
    • Microduino-Core32u4 module can use the USB to simulate the serial 0, and BT uses the 32u4's serial 1 (RX0,TX1), so you don't need to change the existing jumper (RX0,TX1) and it won't impact program download or the serial port's function.
  • Microduino Shield BT4.0 uses the default serial RX0,TX1 to communicate with Core module, so it can be directly connected with Microduino FT232.

Use PC to debug

  • When debugging directly through the serial port:
    • No need to stack the FT232 directly, and just cross connect the FT232 and BT4.0's RX0,TX1.

Use FT232R、Core to download and debug

  • If it keeps using the default jumper (RX0、TX1):
    • Unplug the Microduino Shield BT4.0 during downloading the program;
  • If you want to change the jumper cables to meet your requirement, you need to cut the connection between two intermediate of the pad and RX0/TX1, and then connect them to D2, D3(or D9、D10).
    • If it needs to change the jumper, you can change the serial connection of Microduino Shield BT4.0 and Microduino Core from "TX-RX0、RX-TX1" to:
      • TX-D2、RX-D3 (For Core+'s Serial1)
      • TX-D9、RX-D10 (you can adopt SoftwareSeria libray to solve the problem)

Shield BT4.0 pass-through data to IOS devices

  • Prepared hardware:Microduino FT232R, Microduino Core, Microduino Shield BT4.0, supported Bluetooth 4.0 devices (iPhone4s upper,iPod touch 5 upper,iPad 3 upper,iPad mini upper);
  • Prepared software: Arduino IDE (version 1.0 or higher), Microduino test program (Arduino part) and LightBlue downloaded from App Store;
  • Start Arduino IED,open the Microduino test program, select board "Microduino Core (Atmega328P@16M,5V)" and then download directly;
  • Start to set the IOS device:
    • start Bluetooth on IOS device;
    • Open LightBlue;
    • Find the "HMSoft" in "Central" tab , then set "Service"-"Characteristics" in order;
    • You can see the debugging window and then click the "Start Notify".
  • ASCII data can be seen to be displayed: "BLE, Time: xxx". Besides, xxx shows the runtime of Microduino-Core and Shield BT4.0's in seconds.

Use Core32u4 to debug Shield BT4.0

  • Hardware needed:Microduino FT232R,Microduino Core 32u4 and Microduino Shield BT4.0;
  • Software needed:Arduino IDE(version 1.0 or higher), Microduino test program(Arduino part);
    • (You can keep the current jumper(RXO,TX1) without change for Microduino-CoreUSb utilizes USB simulation port 0(Serial) and the RXO and TX1 of Microduino-BT are the serial1 of Microduino-CoreUSB;
  • Start Arduino IED, open Microduino test program, select Microduino-CoreUSB and then download;
  • Check whether the serial communication is ok:
    • Send the capitalized "AT"(NO \r\n after it) after opening the corresponding serial monitor. And if the return shows "OK", it means the setup is successful.

Use Core+'s uart1 to debug Shield BT4.0

  • Hardware needed:Microduino FT232R, Microduino Core+ and Microduino Shield BT4.0;
  • Software needed:Arduino IDE (version 1.0 or higher), Microduino test program (Arduino part);
  • Other condition:The player has changed the jumper, making the serial changed to D2、D3;
  • Start Arduino IED, open Microduino test program, select the board type "Microduino Core (Atmega328P@16M,5V)" and then download directly;
  • Check the serial communication:
    • Open the serial monitor,send the capitalized “AT”( without \r\n behind), if the return shows“OK”,that means a successful configuration.

Note:If you use Android device to debug, you need to make sure the system should be version 4.3 or higher so that Microduino-BT can be detected.
