Adding Bluetooth To your Microcontroller projects

Posted on by murlidharshenoy

Bluetooth has become Ubiqutios these days Bluetooth Wireless technology is present is Most mobile phones today as well as in laptops and in desktop PCs.And If your PC or laptop doesn’t have it then you can get a Bluetooth USB dongle for cheap(like 2-3$ )!

Wouldn’t it be interesting if your mobile phones /PCs could talk to your Micro-controller Projects??

Lets find out how to add Bluetooth capability easily to your existing Micro-controller projects with out many hardware or software changes.

Bluetooth has many ‘profiles’ for communication with various kinds of devices.The profile in which we will be interested in is the Serial Port Profile or SPP for short.This profile simply emulates a standard Serial port over a wireless bluetooth link.

I was working on a arduino project and wanted to eliminate the wired connection to the arduino form my laptop.The laptop had a GUI running which sent data over a serial COM port to the arduino.I got a Bluetooth module from Lamington road,Mumbai for around 850 INR. You could find it for less on ebay or something.The model number of the bluetooth module is AUBTM-20 .Its  a Class 2 Bluetooth SPP module (Class 2 meaning that its range is around 10 meters/ 30 feet).

I added a relimate connector to make it easy to connect it a breadboard or to connect jumper wires.I had the following connections on the module taken to the connectorGND,VCC and the RX and TX connections of the serial port.

Step one : Test the module

Just power up the Bluetooth module(I Fed in power to the Bluetooth Module from the 3.3v output of my arduino ) and scan the bluetooth devices on your PC/laptop.If everything’s done correctly you will be able to find a bluetooth device named AUBTM-20 or something simliar.You will be asked for a pairing code in case of the above model (AUBTM-20)it is 8888 but it might be different if you are using a bluetooth module from another vendor.On my WINDOWS 7 Laptop it showed up as “AUBTM-20” under devices and printers.

Right Click on the device name in the devices and printers folder under the hardware tab .You will find a Standard Serial over Bluetooth Link and the COM port number writeen in brackets. Note down the COM port number.This completes the Basic test.

Step Two: Verify The COM link.

you will need to verify if you are able to send and receive data over the serial port to be able to use the device in your project for that. I used the FT232RL USB to serial converter chip on-board the arduino. But remember to remove the ATmega processor chip from the socket.(You’re out of luck if you have one of those SMD versions of the arduino 😦 .In this case you will need to get hold of a 3.3V power source such as the lm1117-3.3 and a FT232RL breakout board from here or here ) before you connect the bluetooth module to the arduino. Now Connect the RX line of the Bluetooth module to the TX line of the FT232RL module or you arduino DIgital Pin 1 and the TX line to the RX line of the  module or to that of the arduino.

Now open a terminal application such as TeraTerm (You can download it from here) select the serial port on which you connect your arduino/FT232 module(you can get the com port number of the FTDI device in the device manager under COM ports -> USB serial Port).Open a terminal with the COM port number of the The FTDI device and set the baud rate to 9600 ,8bit -data,Parity- none,1 -stop bit,Flow control -None.

Now open another COM port,this time with the for the serial COM port of your bluetooth device that you had noted down in the first step. The settings of this COM port will also be the same as above FTDI device. IF all the connections are proper and the link is established then anything you type in the FTDI COM terminal should appear on the Bluetooth COM terminal and vice-versa

The +CON:1 is something that the Bluetooth module gives out on the COM port whenever a device is connected .This Proves that the device can successfully communicate over the serial port

Step Three: Finally connecting the Bluetooth module to the Micro-controller.

Here’s a quick arduino script to verify everything’s fine .

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);      // open the serial port at 9600 bps:
}

void loop() {
    if( byte( Serial.read() == 'a' )) {
        Serial.print("\nHey!");       // print Hey
    }
}

Just open the arduino IDE and open the serial terminal.Set the COM port number that you noted down in the First Step and the baud rate to 9600. Just type an “a” without the quotes  in the terminal and you should get a reply with a ‘Hey!’.A word of caution the Bluetooth module works at the CMOS voltage range of 3.3V and can take only upto 3.7v max so while interfacing with TTL level devices such as the ATmega8/168/328 of the arduino level conversion will be required (check out this app note from NXP).I chose to use the 3.3v Level Atmega8L instead since the device can work at 3.3V no level conversion would be required.This is the final device that i made uses the LM1117-3.3 as the power regulator to regulate the 12v from the wall wart.

For microcontrollers such as LPC1768 and LPC2148 which run at 3.3v levels no level conversion or modification would be required at all.All that would be needed to be done is to connect the rx,tx and the ground lines of the Microcontroller to the Bluetooth module and you would have  a Bluetooth enabled microcontroller project!


The board was first designed with the Atmega8 then i added the 3.3v regulator and switched over to the Atmega8L.The Mosfets and other devices onboard are for another project that i’m currently working on.Will Post about the project in my next post.Post in the Comments below what you think about it !

  1. Hey that’s a good post! U said that those things work at 3.3V right? So I have an arduino uno which has a 3.3V pin. So can I directly hook that pin to the PWR pin on bt module? And the TX And RX directly frm the arduino to the module or do I need any thibg xtra?
    Thanks and pls reply fast coz I’m gonna buy that module!

    Reply

  2. thanks! so i should make a level shifter right? so one question the arduino u build(in the pic) wat voltage does it run on?3.3V or 5V the atmega needs 5V right so the did u use a level shifter? and the module is it flimsy? or sturdy(i meant if it will snap and break fast or it wont)and could u send me real time pic of the module(i want see if i can hand solder it) i just 14 so im not good this!!
    anyway gr8 post….!!!!!

    Reply

    • Yeah that seems to work.
      Anyways here’s another schematic for a level converter.http://postimage.org/image/bpa5a9r9z/
      And the Board that i made in the image is a prototype made on a protoboard.It is fairly rugged and is a good way to make prototypes.Yes you can make such a board for yourself and it is fairly easy to solder.
      In the board that i made the processor itself is powered from a 3.3v Supply so the Rx and tx lines are operating at 3.3V so the bluetooth module and the Processor can communicate without any level translation.

      • Sorry for replying late … thanks for the info.

        I’m connecting a Data logger to a PC. Presently this is done via serial to USB bridge, but Bluetooth seems a better option.

        But now I have a problem…. how to pair automatically to the PC ?
        I have to every time remove the device & re-install for pairing to occur.
        Any solution for this,? Thanks !

        Can we communicate by email ? somehow I did get notification of your reply, even though I had subscribed.

  7. Dear Murlidhar,

    Thank you so much for a great illustrated blog post.
    I am looking for this setup since long time.

    I have some questions –

    1. What is the difference in between AUBTM20 and HC-05 Bluetooth modules?
    link of HC-95 – http://www.vegarobokit.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=84_91&product_id=500

    2. Please provide link for developing Mobile application help.

    3. Please provide some more details on pairing process.

    Thanks again

    Reply

    • Thanks a Lot.

      I guess the HC-05 module is similiar to the AU-BTM20.Both are Bluetooth serial port modules and are based on the same Bluetooth chip from CSR.But i would suggest you verify for yourself before getting the module.Heres a data sheet for the HC-05 http://iteadstudio.com/Downloadfile/BluetoothHC05.pdf .But the pairing code and the Pin Connections will be different for the HC-05.

      For Mobile Phone application development i would suggest you check out http://mobilenin.com/pys60/menu.htm This guy has a good tutorial on development of mobile aaplication for nokia s60 based phones.For Android and other mobile phones there are other resources such as Xda-developers,developer.android.com etc.

      What Part of the pairing process are you having trouble with and what OS are you using?

        Thank you so much for detailed and quick reply.

        Thanks for mobile app development link. Sorry i forgot to mention that i am looking for java based tutorial because i dont have Symbian mobile.
        Please give a link for java app also.

        I have just ordered AUBTM20 so as soon i get it i will ask for pairing help also.

  9. i ws looking for such tutorial since long ago. U hv provided a nice satisfactory explaination. Thank u so much for that.
    I jst want to ask u is it necessary to perform the 2nd step coz i dnt hav the FT232RL module. Also pls send me any link for development of app for nokia 5230 using qt or c++. Thanx in advance

    Reply

    • The second Step verifies that the serial Bluetooth Link has been established between the two devices.

      For this you can use A max3232 chip Instead of the FT232RL cable. the chip is available for cheap around 20-30 rs. and build a simple circuit using the chip. You can refer to the Max3232 datasheet fro more info on the circuit. But you Should have a spare serial port in your PC for using the Max3232 serial cable.

      For Building apps Using Qt i suggest you refer to the nokia Developer wiki here http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/Getting_started_with_Qt

      Let me Know if you need any more help!

      Reply

  10. hey thnx for ur quick rply and sry for replying u late.
    in the second step of verification, if i m right, u have used that FT232RL only for serial to usb conversion. If i m right can i use the USB_D+ & USB_D- pin on the aubtm20 itself for usb connection. If this is posible how to do this.
    in the data sheet of aubtm20 they have mentioned that these usb pins can readily be conected to any usb port. Bup how to this this.

    Reply

  11. hey i m waiting for ur reply…
    I have completed the second step. My laptop doesnt have a rs232 port. So i used the usb to rs232 cable. And then made a circuit using max3232 and connected it to pc using d cable.
    The connection was succesful. I opened the two ports as u explained. +con1 was displayed also i was able to see the letter which i typed i one window into another.
    But the problem is once the connection was established about 15 to 20 seconds letter i could not communicate between the two ports. Also the aubtm20 becomes undiscoverable.
    What should i do. Is this the prblm in bluetooth module or anything else.
    Pls rply… I m waiting.

    • Hey Aniket,

      I havent Tried connecting the USB to the bluetooth module directly. and i would not suggest that since the USB protocol is a bit complex and would not be supported by the Atmega8.

      If you want a simple C code for UART interface for the Atmega8 you can get it from here .The link is for a Excellent UART library developed by Peter Fleury. Just follow the instructions in the manual included with the code to get started with the UART interface for the atmega 8!

      Also if you are experiencing disconnecctions of the bluetooth module after a few minutes try putting the bluetooth module in bluetooth slave mode by connecting the pin 25 (PIO5 In the aubtm-20 datasheet) to the ground. And make sure nothing is conencted to th pin 4 (PIO3). Best of luck 🙂

  15. Hi
    Thanks for the really informative post.I am doing a miniproject which involves interfcing a bluetooth with a microcontroller and sending stuff to another mcrcontroller based bluetooth. We have our serial communication program ready, but we were wondering if we require any special bluetooth protocol for the same?

    Reply

    • No You dont need any Special Protocol to communicate over bluetooth. But the voltage levels of the signals from the microcontroller should be in the 3.3V range . Since the Most bluetooth modules work on a accept signals in the range of 0-3.3v. You might need to use a level shifter to do that.Let Me Know if you need any more help on the project!

  19. Hey Murali,
    I am building a bluetooth enabled bot. I use an AT89C52 along with AUBTM-20. You haven’t mentioned here about the AT commands that we need to use.
    I paired the module to my laptop using AT commands and I could get whatever I send via a serial port to the bluetooth’s configured serial port.

    I am stuck when I interface the aubtm-20 to the microcontroller directly. I just wanted to know if the procedure to interface the module to the uC is the same as that was done using AT commands?
    I am doing the following:

    1. Wait for an OK from the bluetooth module (I get this)
    2. Send LLL (I did this)
    3. Wait for an OK from bluetooth (No reponse here!)

    Could you tell me where I am wrong?

    Reply

      • Hello Kunal, I am assuming that you are trying to communicate to AUBTM 20 from the PC/laptop. You need to have a terminal program – like hyperterminal or terminal.exe. I used the aubtm module with built in max 232 circuitry, so it was easy to plug it into the computer’s serial port/usb port. After plugging the module to serial/usb port, you can configure the baud rate,com port etc in terminal.exe,. Then you start sending AT commands!.

    • You Might need to Put one of the Modules into the slave mode. to do this Simply pull thr PIO5(pin 25 on the AU-BTM20) line low while powering up the module. And put the other module into Master mode. To do this Pull the PIO5 to high while powering up the module. after that both the devices should be able to Connect with each other.

      Reply

      • wait so how does the aubtm(master)know it has to connect to the specific slave?could u pls xplain what should i do and how should i do?

      • There is an inquiry (AT+INQ ) at command for aubtm-20 module. On the master side you just have to run this command. It will fetch a list of available discoverable bluetooth DEVICES. Select the slave module. Connect to the slave device in the list using the connect at command (AT+CON).
        You can get the detailed description in the at command set reference sheet for the au-btm 20.

        Do let me know how it goes!

      • Hello Muruli Sir,

        I am trying to interface AUBTM-20 with LPC2148.
        When i connect bluetooth module with laptop, first OK response is recived, When i enter LLL i am getting response as OK. but next what ever the AT commands i enter its commiung as error. Can you please suggest me to resolve this issue….

      • Hey Asha,

        I think it might be due to a missing carriage return and line feed character.

        The AT command Set of the AU-BTM 20 requires the command issued from the host to be in the format as shown below

        You may use the terminal program such as Tera term, which gives you options to send a cr and lf character after each transmit

        Refer to the Command Set for more info

  24. hi sir awesome description…i am trying to control appliances using relays thru arduino via bluetooth interface….everything is fine but i am struck at AT commands…how to configure the aubtm to slave…master and automatic mode and what is spp mode…plzz explain i am unable to get it…can we configure these modes by at-commands and also by pulling some pins low?…..im unable to handle at commands so plz tell me which pins are needed to be pulled low such that if i am sending character “a” or anythng thru my fon it shud be printed on my arduino serial monitor….thanks in advance….

    Reply

  25. else sir plz give me the set of commands in the same order as to configure it in slave mode or spp….such that if im sending characters it shud recieve….and when we purchase this aubtm by default what is the mode it has?…when i connected it i got ok and then i entered lll then i got ok then after that im gettng all errors plz help regaring this mode configuration ….my requirement is that it shud recieve the characters sent by the fon thru android app and give those characters to arduino to decide upon…

      • Hey Shraddha,

        I dont think making and disconnecting phone calls is supported over the bluetooth serial port profile(SPP) . For that some other profile such as HSP or HFP could be used. I am not sure whether those profiles are supported by the AUBTM-20 module.

        Also Make sure your device is properly paired and the two bluetooth devices are not separated by a distance of more than 10 meters to allow for a stable and reliable bluetooth connection.

        Let me know if you need any more help !

  49. Thanks for the tutorial above will be useful to enhance my studies .

    But I am seeking information for my school project and this hard to find what I want.

    I need help to develop the program and find out which Bluetooth module is suitable for this use , with a range of one meter.

    If you can just tell me about the program is already great. However, this program can be applied in any Bluetooth ?

    Example of what I need : I will connect my smartphone to a Bluetooth device that has an alarm connected to an accelerometer , and if someone touch it , it turns on and emits an alarm sound right there on the product, and also sends a vibration to mobile with Android , and when I distance myself from alrme , say 1 meter. the system is triggered , and when I approach, the alarm system turns off .

    Let’s put it this way , my Android Mobile is the receiver of the other Bluetooth notices containing the alarm , Bluetooth with alarm that this is the transmitter , it transmits the alarm on my cell phone and also emits a loud alarm sound the circuit itself . If anyone touch it he sounds the alarm . Would like Keyiess Passive Entry – PKE ) call that drive chip .

    Many thanks and a hug

    and can you provide me the embeded c program for these type of projects??
    please help….

  52. Thank u sir,
    but one more question is,
    if i directly connect the bluetooth module with 8051 then i need to write a program to send the characters to the 8051 from module via android?? or i only need to write a program to run the motor?? please help.

    • Hello, my hope is that you help me.

      The problem is: How do development board Bluetooth (CSR1010) be recognized by my PC?

      I bought a development board CSR1010-DK-10169-1A
      https://www.google.com.br/search?newwindow=1&espv=210&es_sm=122&q=Bluetooth+%28CSR1010%29+CLASSE&oq=Bluetooth+%28CSR1010%29+CLASSE&gs_l=serp.3..30i10.9441.12750.0.14854.7.7.0.0.0.0.335.1451.1j3j0j3.7.0….0…1c.1.39.serp..1.6.1114.ZHKtMdJLG_8

      I’m trying to make it be recognized by the PC, and can not, the forum sought help them and received the following help:
      Eduardo,
      You have to remove the Windows driver and select CSR driver to be able to control dev PCB via USB.

      check if your RS232 to TTL is suitable, you can:
             
      1. Verify that the voltage is 3.3V

      2. Pinos short TXD to RXD. pc Canvas Set the terminal set to 9600, no local echo, select the right COM port and type some characters. if you see the characters appear on the terminal screen, the OK cable and can be connected to the PCB.

      Please note that I am not employed CSR and this is just from my personal experience.
      AND GOT THE FOLLOWING INF:
      The CSR1010-DK-10169-1A contains a single board which has a USB-SPI converter onboard.

      It does not include features USB-UART, so if you want to connect to a COM port on a PC, you need to provide this via a USB-UART cable outer, ie a cable that would include the FTDI chip internally. The board does not include push button or LEDs, as part of CSR1010 project. The kit does not include the dual-mode dongle or battery. Both kits will allow you to begin development immediately, without having to buy anything else.

      What I did not?

      You have to remove the Windows driver and select CSR
      How to do this? remove the drive?

      So I bought a TTL cable, how to connect it?
      PuTTY installed but how to select the USB port

      And the TTL cable I have is this:
      HE said: check if your RS232 to TTL is adequate

      Usb Converter Rs232 To Ttl Pl2303hx
      http://produto.mercadolivre.com.br/MLB-560362177-conversor-usb-para …
       
      Product Features:

      USB Interface USB Serial (RS232, UART) converter TTL level. Used as the main CI PL2303HX.

      Have power outputs 5v and 3.3v, ease of use and low power circuits.

      Ideal for projects that require serial communication with a computer or recording / scheduling of compatible devices.

      For projects requiring the use of the level (usually the famous MAX232) converter because its output is already in TTL level.

      Thank you very much.
      a hug

  54. hi murlidharshenoy,
    i need ur help for bluetooth project, at start, i establish connection between bluetooth module connected to pic microcontroller 16f877a.I am stuck when I interface the HC-05 to the microcontroller directly. I just wanted to know if the procedure to interface the module to the uC is the same as that was done using AT commands?
    I am doing the following:
    1. Wait for an OK from the bluetooth module (I get this)
    2. Send A (I did this)
    3. Wait for an OK from bluetooth (No reponse here!)
    Could you tell me where I am wrong?
    Give me any UART source code for testing.

    Regards,
    Priya
