Serial port bluetooth module(Master/Slave)
This module is an easy to use Bluetooth SPP (Serial Port Protocol) module, designed for transparent wireless serial connections.
The Serial port Bluetooth module is fully qualified Bluetooth V2.0+EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) 3Mbps Modulation with complete 2.4GHz radio transceiver and baseband. It uses CSR Bluecore 04-External single chip Bluetooth system with CMOS technology and with AFH(Adaptive Frequency Hopping Feature). It has a footprint as small as 12.7mmx27mm. Hopefully it will simplify your overall design/development cycle.
Model: WLS123A1M

9600,19200,38400,57600,115200,230400,460800.
- Use CTS and RTS to control data stream.
- Given a rising pulse in PIO0, device will be disconnected.
- Status instruction port PIO1: low-disconnected, high-connected;
- PIO10 and PIO11 can be connected to red and blue LED separately. When master and slave are paired, red
and blue led blinks 1time/2s in interval. While disconnected only blue led blinks 2times/s.
- Auto-connects to the last device on power as default.
- Permits pairing device to connect as default.
- Auto-pairing PINCODE:”0000” as default
- Auto-reconnect in 30 min when disconnected as a result of beyond the range of connection.
Application Ideas
- Remote controller
- Wireless communication
Cautions
- While using with Seeeduino / Arduino, set the operation voltage to 5V. Else use a proper logic level converter.
- While using with UartSBee, set the operation voltage to 5V
- Command to change baud rate is persistent even after reset. Hence remember the baud rate for next use.

Commands to change default configuration
1. Set working MODE
| \r\n+STWMOD=0\r\n | Set device working mode as client (slave). Save and Rest. |
| \r\n+STWMOD=1\r\n | Set device working mode as server (master). Save and Rest. |
Note: \r\n is necessary for operation and the value of are 0x0D 0x0A in Hex. \r and \n represent carriage-return and line-feed(or next line),
2.Set BAUDRATE
| \r\n+STBD=115200\r\n | Set baudrate 115200. Save and Rest. |
| Supported baudrate: 9600, 19200,38400,57600,115200,230400,460800. | |
3. Set Device NAME
| \r\n+STNA=abcdefg | Set device name as “abcdefg”. Save and Rest. |
4. Auto-connect the last paired device on power
| \r\n+STAUTO=0\r\n | Auto-connect forbidden. Save and Rest. |

| \r\n+INQ=1\r\n | Enable been inquired |
When +INQ=1 command is successful, the red and green LEDS blink alternatively.
2. Bluetooth module returns inquiring result
| \r\n+RTINQ=aa,bb,cc,dd,ee,ff;name\r\n | Serial Bluetooth device with the address “aa,bb,cc,dd,ee,ff” and the name “name” is inquired |
3. Connect device
| \r\n+CONN=aa,bb,cc,dd,ee,ff\r\n | Connect to a device with address of "aa,bb,cc,dd,ee,ff” |
4. Bluetooth module requests inputting PINCODE
\r\n+INPIN\r\n
5. Input PINCODE
| \r\n+RTPIN=code\r\n | |
| Example: RTPIN=0000 | Input PINCODE which is four zero |
6. Disconnect device Pulling PIO0 high will disconnect current working Bluetooth device.
