[SOLVED] Help needed for microchip RN4020 bluetooth module

[MUKESH.K.S]

Has anyone have experience in using RN4020 module, please help me.
I was trying to configure RN4020 in mldp mode, but it not responding as described in datasheet. When it starts, it sends 'END' and "CMD" on serial terminal. But as per the datasheet it should respond with "MLDP" on serial port when the cmd pin is high. But it always show "END" and "CMD"
This is my code . I am using pic mcu

I cant find MLDP mode in the datasheet

Post your circuit and relevant datasheet

THANKS FOR THE REPLY, please check the datasheet

PIN 8 of module connected to microcontroller and made high to enter MLDP mode ? Are you using two RN4020 modules and are both set to MLDP mode ?

 

[MUKESH.K.S]

I am using only one rn4020 module, i want to communicate it with some softwares like blueterm . I have connected pin 8 to high . but it not responding with "MLDP". Also i cant find the device from my phone. How can i make it visible.

Page no 96 of the document you posted says.

To use the MLDP service between two RN4020
devices, both devices must enable MLDP with the proper parameters using the “SR”
command. MLDP mode can only be started when two RN4020 modules both have
MLDP enabled and are connected together.

Actually i wanted to connect it with my mobile by Bluetooth link and to pc via serial port.so that i can send data from my mobile to pc. Thats why i needed to use mldp mode

 

[milan.rajik]

I don't know whether you can do that or not. Datasheet mentions that both RN4020 devices should be put in MPDP mode and should be connected. Only then you can use MLDP communication.

The problem is now solved. The MLDP mode and and pin will only work when the device is connected. Another problem is that it only gets connected with the MLDP terminal app from the Microchip also your phone should require Bluetooth version 4 . I tried with MLDP terminal app. Now its working fine.
