Yes…I’m alive.
\nIt’s about 1 year that I didn’t post something on this wonderful blog but I’ve been quite busy.<\/p>\n
But some days ago I bought a bluetooth module (HC-06, the cheapest module for Arduino) in order to integrate wireless capability in my HomeTemp project, and I want to share a simple thing about its configuration:<\/p>\n
DO NOT WIRE THE MODULE TO RX1 (pin 0) AND TX1 (pin 1).<\/strong><\/p>\n I tried the\u00a0easiest way to connect the module to an Arduino UNO board, using the standard RX1 and TX1 pin, but the behavior was a little confusing:<\/p>\n I didn’t\u00a0understand why…maybe a “conflict” with the standard Serial USB communication. But after some experiments \u00a0I found a post somewhere that suggests to use the “SoftwareSerial<\/a>” Arduino Library and use two others PIN (10 and 11). With this simple configuration the following example works like a charm \ud83d\ude42 Not all pins support change interrupts, check the SoftwareSerial page and check which pins should work.<\/p>\n Pair the device with your PC (the default pairing PIN is 1234) and then open a serial console (on Mac OSX I use “screen \/dev\/tty.XXXYYZZZ). You are now able to read and send data.<\/p>\n I hope it could be helpful to someone.<\/p>\n Yes…I’m alive.
