Audio & BLE/SPP Pass-through Module Bluetooth 5.0 Wiki - DFRobot

Introduction

This Bluetooth module features Bluetooth/U-disk/TF-card playback, and Bluetooth call function, supporting simple and clear serial port control function, BLE pass-through, and SPP pass-through functions. The highlight of this product is the dual-mode Bluetooth, which also means that it can run the Bluetooth audio playback and data transmission at the same time, greatly reducing the development difficulty of embedded Bluetooth in other products.

Feature

Application

• Bluetooth Speaker with calling function
• Bluetooth Music Lamp
• MP3 Player

Specification

• Power Supply: 3.3V~5V
• Operating Current: 20mA
• Communication: UART
• Bluetooth: 5.0
• Operating Temperature Range: -40℃~80℃
• Operating Humidity Range: 5%RH~95%RH
• Dimension: 23*15.5mm/0.91*0.61”

Board Overview

Tutorial

Note: it is recommended to use hardware serial to drive this module, since it may be unstable when using software serial, which may result in unknown errors.It is suggested to reduce the module's baud rate to 9600 when using software serial driver.

Requirements

• Hardware

  • DFRduino UNO R3 (or similar) x 1
  • BT401 x 1
  • Speaker with Amplifier
  • Dupont wires

• Software

  • Arduino IDE
  • Download and install the BT401 Library file and Sample Code (About how to install the library?)

Sample Code 1- Playback

When the module powered on, enter the music mode, start playing the last recorded file, pause playing after 3S, play the next song after 3S, play the previous song after 3S, and play the first file copied into the device after 3 seconds.
