Bluetooth Module HC06

STorM32-BGC v0.17 board with HC06 bluetooth module

The STorM32-BGC can be equipped with a Bluetooth module for wireless communication. Specifically, it is the HC06 slave module.

The on-board bluetooth capability is not intended for telemetrie purposes or other long-range applications; it's only for easying the near-distance configuration of the STorM32-BGC board.

Installation and Configuration

In order to use the StorM32-BGC via Bluetooth just solder the HC06 BT-Module in place, connect via USB and start the "BTConfigureTool - Configure Bluetooth Module" option from the Tools menu in the GUI o323BGCTool.

The name, with which the board is recognized by the blueetooth stack, can be changed (per default it is "STorM32-BGC"). This can be handy when one is using two or more STorM32-BGC boards.

Once the module has been configured, please restart the board by pressing reset or remove and resume power. Then try to connect via Bluetooth. For those who wonder what the correct PIN is: It is "1234".

Yellow Status Led

There is a third, yellow led on the STorM32-BGC board, which, if enabled, is directly connected to the HC06 bluetooth module and shows its status. The meaning of the blinks is described in the documentation for the HC06 module.
