What is HC-06 Bluetooth module?
The HC-06 bluetooth module is a slave bluetooth module designed for wireless serial communication. It is a slave module meaning that it can receive serial data when serial data is sent out from a master bluetooth device(device able to send serial data through the air: smart phones, PC).
How does Bluetooth module HC-06 work?
The HC-06 is a class 2 slave Bluetooth module designed for transparent wireless serial communication. Once it is paired to a master Bluetooth device such as PC, smart phones and tablet, its operation becomes transparent to the user. All data received through the serial input is immediately transmitted over the air.
What is HC-05 Bluetooth module Arduino?
HC-05 is a Bluetooth device used for wireless communication with Bluetooth enabled devices (like smartphone). It communicates with microcontrollers using serial communication (USART). Default settings of HC-05 Bluetooth module can be changed using certain AT commands.
What is the difference between Bluetooth HC 05 and HC-06?
The HC-05 can be master or slave, the HC-06 is slave only. The main difference is that they have different firmware and HC-05 can be used as Slave and master but HC-06 can be used as a slave only. It is a serial passthrough Bluetooth transceiver that is commonly used in arduino applications.
How do I connect to HC-06?
If you have an Android device, such as phone or tablet, go to PlayStore and install ‘Bluetooth Terminal’ app from Qwerty. Make sure you have turned on Bluetooth on your device. Open the menu icon on the top right corner of the screen and tap on ‘Connect a device – secure’.
Can HC-06 send data?
HC-06 works on serial communication. The Android app is designed to send serial data to the Arduino Bluetooth module when a button is pressed on the app. The Arduino Bluetooth module at other end receives the data and sends it to the Arduino through the TX pin of the Bluetooth module(connected to RX pin of Arduino).
How do I connect my HC-06 to my phone?
The first thing to do is to power on the Bluetooth module and see if you can connect to it. For this you need an Android device. With the Bluetooth module powered and the LED(s) blinking, on the Android device go to Settings => Connections => Bluetooth and scan for Bluetooth devices. Here the phone has found the HC-06.
What is the difference between HC 05 and HC-06?
Why we use HC 05 Bluetooth module?
Designed to replace cable connections HC-05 uses serial communication to communicate with the electronics. Usually, it is used to connect small devices like mobile phones using a short-range wireless connection to exchange files. It uses the 2.45GHz frequency band.
What is the longest range of Bluetooth?
The range of the Bluetooth® connection is approximately 30 feet (10 meters). However, maximum communication range will vary depending on obstacles (person, metal, wall, etc.) or electromagnetic environment.
Can HC 05 send data?
Connecting the Android device to the HC-05 creates a serial communication channel very similar to the serial monitor in the Arduino IDE. Pair your phone with HC-05. for doing this go to Settings->Bluetooth->Scan device->select HC-05 and pair it. Pass code to pair is ‘1234’.
