Hi, I'm fiddling around with some now modules I just got. One of them is the JY-MCU Bluetooth Module V1.05, which I ordered from dx - I thought that it would be quite a simple task to get it to run, as so many before me.
I'm using the Arduino Leonardo board, and I'm coding on a mac with Mac OSX 10.8.3.
The BT-Module is connected like this:
Arduino RX1 -> JY-MCU TXD
Arduino TX1 -> JY-MCU RXD
Arduino 5V -> JY-MCU VCC
Arduino GND -> JY-MCU GND
On the back it says Power 3.6-6V, so I figured 5V would be okay (I've tried both with 3.3V and 5V, without any results whatsoever)
I'm able to connect to the BT module to my mac just fine, the red LED on the module goes to solid, so I know it's connected.
The issue is however, I can't listen to the output of the module.
I have written this program just to test if I could listen in on the serial:
int number = 1;
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
Serial.print("Loop nr: ");
Serial.print(number++);
Serial.println("");
delay(1000);
}
I uploaded this using the USB cable and I can read the output of the Arduino just fine, when I listen to the USB port. When I then try to switch to Serial Port -> /dev/tty.linvor the light on the module becomes solid, but nothing happens in the terminal. I have been using both the Arduino software and CoolTerm to try to listen to the bluetooth port.
I have tried to follow http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/serial which says that everywhere I wrote Serial above should be replaced with Serial1, but alas, same result... None..
I've really tried to get my head around this, but I can't get the module to recieve or respond
I hope there's somebody out there with the know-how, so I can feel stupid for the rest of the week
