HC-06 hc01.comV2.0

The latest zs-040 HC-06 modules have an updated firmware, hc01.comV2.0. This firmware has the following defaults:
– baud rate = 9600
– password = 1234
– nl/cr line endings not required.
– AT commands are required to be in upper case
– Firmware version = hc01.comV2.0
– Name = HC-06
– No parity
– SLAVE mode

Since the Bluetooth hardware is the same as the previous zs-040 HC-06s the Bluetooth specs are also the same. Bluetooth 2.0 EDR, SSP.
These use a slightly different BT module than the other zs-040 boards and there is a blue LED at the top left of the daughter board.

LEDs

On these boards there are 2 LEDs. One red LED on the breakout board and a blue LED on the actual BT module (the small daughter board). The LEDs may seem to be linked but they are not. You can control the blue LED without affecting the red LED. See below.
When powered the LEDs flash quickly (I think the rate is 10 times a second) and the flash rate does not change when the modules are paired. When there is connection the LEDs change to constant on.

AT Commands

Replies do not contain end of line characters. This means when using a serial monitor everything appears on a single line. See the above screen shot.

Some of the basic AT commands are:

AT – connection test command. Returns OK

AT+BAUD AT+BAUD1 – sets the baud rate to 1200 and returns OK1200
AT+BAUD2 – sets the baud rate to 2400 and returns OK2400

Other possible baud rates are
1——— 1200
2——— 2400
3——— 4800
4——— 9600
5——— 19200
6——— 38400
7——— 57600
8——— 115200
9——— 230400
A——— 460800
B——— 921600
C——— 1382400
Be careful with speeds over 115200 when using a Windows computer.

AT+NAME Sets the name of the module. This is the name that is broadcast to other devices. Maximum length is 20 characters.
AT+NAMEmyBluetooth sets the name to myBluetooth, returns OKsetname

AT+PIN Changes the PIN/password.
AT+PIN9999 – changes the PIN to 9999, returns OKsetPIN

AT+VERSION
returns the firmware version – hc01.comV2.0

AT+LED turns off the on board LED. This is the blue LED on the small daughter board not the red LED on the larger breakout board.

AT+LED0 – turn off the blue LED, returns LED ON
AT+LED1 – turn on the blue LED, returns LED ON

AT+PN sets no parity
AT+PE sets even parity
AT+PO sets odd parity

The modules accept AT+ROLE commands but they don’t seemed to do anything.
AT+ROLE=S puts the module in to SLAVE mode, returns OK+ROLE:S
AT+ROLE=M puts the module in to MASTER mode, returns OK+ROLE:M
The commands are accepted and I originally thought this may mean the modules can be used as HC-05s but I get any of the usual HC-05 commands to work; ROLE, AT+ROLE, AT+ROLE=, AT+ROLE? doesn’t work.
