Introduction

DFRobot Bluetooth Bee Bluetooth wireless module adapts XBEE design. It has compact size, the pinout is compatible with XBEE which is suitable for all kinds of microcontroller systems who have 3.3V power out, the module can use the AT commands to set baud rate. The Bluetooth Bee modules somes with an on-board antenna, the antenna provides better signal quality. It acts like a transparent serial port, which works with a variety of Bluetooth adapter and Bluetooth phone.

The bluetooth module has been tested with all the Bluetooth adapter on the market matching to use (with the Bluetooth, including laptops and mobile phones).

FAQ

Q1. Inserted it to the Game Pad. Put the switch to AT mode. Tried the AT commands from the wiki and get nothing. What should I do?

A. Once you inserted it on Game pad instead of a XBEE adapter, you can only use AT command in code, but it will become useless to use serial monitor sending AT commands.
