Bluetooth Module HC06
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.
Manual Commands
the procedure to play with the BT module is quite simple: connect the board to the usb only, as said in the wizzard. When enter the string xQB and hit send. Now you can send any command to the BT module, like you usually would with a terminal, except that it has to be preceded by a lower case character a, b, ..., h, which determines the baudrate of the communication. E.g., a simple command would be hAT, where the 'h' sets the baudrate to 115200, and 'AT' is the command AT query command, or dAT for the same but just at 9600 baudrate. The response can be seen in the message window. After each send please wait for the 'Done'.
