The Arduino IDE itself is written in Java, and it can communicate to the serial port via the RXTX Java library. That library is very similar to the Java Communications API extension. Internally the IDE remembers which port and baud rate you used last time. Unfortunately that internal implementation can not be considered public API you can reliably use. So you will have to keep your own settings to remember which COM port your Arduino card is using. This interface sample presumes that you already know how to compile and run Java code. There are plenty of other resources on the Internet to teach you to program in Java. Most serious Java programmers use a Java IDE to create Java programs, like the free Eclipse IDE, but this example provides information for the less frequent Java programmer. Arduino Board Set Up. Before you begin interfacing with your Arduino board, you must have the Arduino IDE installed and configured. Once it is installed, try this simple sketch. You can use the Serial Monitor of the IDE to verify that the board is set up correctly. Serial. begin9. 60. Serial. printlnHello world. RXTX Library Set Up.

Arduino and HC 0. ZS 0. 40 Martyn Currey. The HC 0. 6 is a slave only BT module that is fairly easy to use with the Arduino using serial communication. Once it is connected it simply relays what it receives by bluetooth to the Arduino and whatever it receives from the Arduino it sends to the connected device. There are several slightly different versions of the HC 0. AT commands. The ones I have are labelled as zs 0. I also have some HC 0. PCB and are also labelled as zs 0. The HC 0. 6 defaults to AT mode at power on. This is indicated by a rapidly flashing LED. After the HC 0. 6 is connected to another device the LED stops flashing and is constant on. Connections. The Bluetooth module the ZS 0. EGBT 0. 46. S, is a 3. V device. The HC 0. The RX pin can still only accept 3. V though. This means a voltage divider is required to connect to a 5. V Arduino. A simple voltage divider can be created using 2 resistors. I am using a 1. K ohm resistor and a 2. K ohm resistor. The Arduino will read 3. V as a HIGH so the HC 0. TX pin can be connected directly to the Arduino. HC 0. 6 Vin to 5. V can be from the 5. V out from the ArduinoHC 0. GND to common GNDHC 0. RX to Arduino pin D3 TX via a voltage divider. HC 0. 6 TX to Arduino pin D2 RX connect directly. Test Communication With The HC 0. After connecting everything we need to talk to the HC 0. We can do this by using software serial on the Arduino. I use software serial to talk to Bluetooth modules and use the hardware serial for debugging. The following sketch takes whatever is entered in to the serial monitor on a host computer and relays it to the HC 0. The sketch also takes whatever the HC 0. The Arduino is acting like a relay station between the serial monitor and the BT module. The HC 0. 6s I have have a default baud rate of 9. Other modules have a different baud rate. If 9. 60. 0 doesnt work try other speeds. Once you have communication working you can change the baud rate to suit your needs. Basic Bluetooth sketch HC 0. Connect the Hc 0. The HC 0. 6 defaults to AT mode when first powered on. The default baud rate is 9. The Hc 0. 6 requires all AT commands to be in uppercase. NLCR should not be added to the command string. Software.

Note Windows cannot use baud rates above 1. If you are using Windows and you accidentally set the baud rate higher than 1. After confirming that the HC 0. Android device. HC 0. Connecting to an Android Device. Since the HC 0. 6 is a slave only device, the connection must be started by another device. Below are the steps to pair and then connect with an Android device. I am using an app called Bluetooth Terminal which is available for free on google play. Before you can connect to the HC 0. Power on the HC 0. The LED will flash rapidly. Open Settings on the Android device and select Bluetooth. If your device does not auto scan you will need to manually scan for available bluetooth devices. The HC 0. 6 should appear in the list. Select the HC 0. You will be asked for the pin. The default pin is 1. The modules name may include the mac address a series of hexadecimal numbers. After the HC 0. 6 is paired you need to communicate with it somehow. To test things are working you can use a BT terminal program such as Bluetooth Terminal available on Google Play. Install and open Bluetooth Terminal. Open the menu, icon at the top of the screen. Select Connect a device Insecure. This brings up a list of available devices. Select the HC 0. Once connected, connected HC 0. Make sure the Arduino serial monitor is open and everything you enter into the Android Bluetooth Terminal will be echoed in the serial monitor. In the Arduino serial monitor, select Both NL CR at the bottom of the window and whatever you type in the serial monitor will be sent to the Android Bluetooth Terminal. If NL CR are not selected, the Arduino will still send the data but the Bluetooth Terminal program will not display it until it receives a carriage return newline. Next step. Turning an LED on and off. Turning a LED On and Off by Bluetooth. I have updated and moved the Turning an LED on and off guide to its own post. Update. I have new HC 0. V2. 0 firmware. See here.
