8051 interfacing Bluetooth/Hyperterminal example/help

[johnjameson]

Hey guys,
Just looking for a bit of guidance when using a bluetooth module.
I have a HC-06 Bluetooth module,I put it on a breadboard,powered it up,paired it with my pc.Then I used Teraterm to open a connection to it,which it did(the red light stayed continuously on),entered in the command “AT” but I got no response back.(I thought I could send commands to it without it having to be connected to a micro,like to change its baud rate or something).
I presume this has something to do with the HC-06 being a slave only module and it has to be connected to a microcontroller in order to view data on the hyperterminal.
So my query is can anyone direct to where I might view some example code which I could load onto a 8051 micro(something that would send a word or number to the bluetooth) and then I could view the word/number on the hyperterminal
thanks

Hi,

Ifi remember right, then the AT mode is only acessed from the uart side (ucontroller), and not from the radio side.

Additionally i think there must be some function to enable the AT mode,
How else could you send the string "AT*" via bluetooth.

Hi James,

Klaus is absolutely right, to access the AT set you must be connected thru the uart, not the bluetooth.

Secondly, any command you send, the characters need to be sent in very quick succession, or else the module doesnt recognose it. Its easier to write your complete AT command in say notepad, and then copy-paste it into your terminal emulator.

Regards,

Anand

Ok thanks guys.
Leaving the AT commands aside,if I were to load onto the 8051 micro something that would send a word or number to the bluetooth,would I then be able to view the word/number on the hyperterminal?

 

[ard]

Absolutely.

Just to check out your setup, leave aside the 8051. Just short the Tx and Rx on the HC-06, pair it with your PC, configure the hyperterminal with the right com port.

Now, whatever characters you hammer out on the hyperterminal should echo back.

I'll do that and then report back.

Yip did the test,whatever I typed was echoed back.
Next step is probably test it with an 8051 chip,so as I wrote earlier can anyone point me in the direction of some example code I can load onto the 8051 that can be sent to the bluetooth which I can view on the hyperterminal

hello,


an example of init for HC06 , written in MilroC Pro 6.40
UART interrupt and a buffer is used to receive answer from HC06
i use also Timer1 to go out the waiting response if no answer from HC06
i add also a wire on Reset input of HC06 .. (because no pin out for this signal)

Does the code have to be as long as that?
For example would this work for sending data to hyperterminal via bluetooth
example for uart

#include <stdio.h>                /* prototype declarations for I/O functions */   
void serial_init(void); 
//------------------------------------------------- 
//Setup the serial port for 9600 baud at 11.0592MHz.

hello,


In fact, the HC06 must be ready to dialog in SSP mode by default
and use factory configuration..
Youre code can work if your device has same COM speed.


To know his configuration, the best way, is to connect the BT module directly (trough a MAX322(if 3,3V level)
to a PC terminal
and send the request with the PC keyboard
at the first AT command you must get a OK response,
in this case ,it means that you connect with the correct speed..else try other speed

AT
ATNAMEnewname
ATVERSION
ATBAUD5 for 19200
if you change the speed , don't forget to change also on the PC ..
ATPINxxxx with xxxx 4 digits

it depends of your model.. mine is comming from MiniIntheBox RPC vendor..

After you can play with your MCU ....

The minimum test is to send AT and test if you receive OK
else you don't know if the link between MCU and BT device is OK or not..

after the bluettooh link with another external device is another subject..

example for uart

Hi, If your 8051 is communicating with the PC directly over the com port, you'd need absolutely no changes to your code while using the HC-06 (as long as the baud rate on the HC-06, usually 9600 by default) matches what you're using on the 8051.

 

[paulfjujo]

hello

we suppose also, that the device pairing , PC side, is correct ..
and you allready have a driver to get the connexion with a virtual com port from your PC Bluetooth interface.
and software authorisation to do that...

example with BlueSoleil on PC side
after pairing OK with the Bluetooth device
need to connect to a virtual com PORTA
wich define after ..a COM#4 (or other!) to use with the terminal software..

Yes thats true. But since the OP has already successfully tested the HC-06 to PC connection with a loopback (shorting the Tx and Rx on the HC-06), I assume that part is already in place.

 

[johnjameson]

Right so I tried the loopback test and that worked.
I then loaded my 8051 with this code

#include <REG51.H>                /* special function register declarations   */ 
#include <stdio.h>                /* prototype declarations for I/O functions */

{     
SCON  = 0x50;                         /* SCON: mode 1, 8-bit UART, enable rcvr         */     
TMOD |= 0x20;               /* TMOD: timer 1, mode 2, 8-bit reload                    */     
TH1   = 0xFD;               /* TH1:  reload value for 9600 baud @ 11.0592MHz*/    
TR1   = 1;                  /* TR1:  timer 1 run                               */     
TI    = 1;                  /* TI:   set TI to send first char of UART           */ 
}  

 //--------------------------

{             
serial_init();            
printf (" PS - PrimerC51 UART Demo\n\n\r");             
while (1)             
{             
printf ("Hello World!! \n\r");   /* Print "Hello World" */             
}         
}

But nothing came through on the hyperterminal,it was able to open a connection alright but then nothing but a blank screen.
I am using a 11.0592MHz with my 8051 too.

 

[paulfjujo]

hello,

sorry, i don't know 8051

try to add some delay in your code ...

and maybe try also to reverse " \n\r" by "\r\n" or only "\r"
i allready encounter this kind of problem with external BT equipement..with RFOBasic and bluetooh application.

Delay_ms(500);  
while (1)             
{             
printf ("Hello World!! \n\r");   /* Print "Hello World" */  
Delay_ms(500);           
}

When you connect your 8051 project to hyperterminal directly using a cable, does it work as expected?

I'll try that.
Its code I saw on this webpage
**broken link removed**
but maybe I should be using this

I didn't connect it directly as I dont have a cable.

So I went back and tried this again but again no success,so I tried swapping 8051 chips and then it worked fine so I think my original chip is fried.
