HC-05 Wireless Bluetooth Serial Port Module

It is used for many applications like wireless headsets, game controllers, wireless mice, wireless keyboards, and many more consumer applications. It has a range of up to <100m which depends upon the transmitter and receiver, atmosphere, geographic & urban conditions. It is an IEEE 802.15.1 standardized protocol, through which one can build a wireless Personal Area Network (PAN). It uses frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) radio technology to send data over the air. It uses serial communication to communicate with devices. It communicates with a microcontroller using a serial port (USART).

HC-05 module Information

• HC-05 has a red LED which indicates the connection status, whether the Bluetooth is connected or not. Before connecting to the HC-05 module this red LED blinks continuously in a periodic manner. When it gets connected to any other Bluetooth device, its blinking slows down to two seconds.
• This module works on 3.3V. We can connect 5V supply voltage as well since the module has on board a 5 to 3.3 V regulator.
• As the HC-05 Bluetooth module has a 3.3V level for RX/TX and the microcontroller can detect a 3.3 V level, so, no need to shift the transmit level of the HC-05 module. However, we need to shift the transmit voltage level from the microcontroller to the RX of the HC-05 module.
• The data transfer rate of the HC-05 module can vary up to 1Mbps in the range of 10 meters.
