Arduino Uno Connecting Two HC 05 Bluetooth Modules

Hey, I've looked around extensively and cannot find any solutions that work for me so hopefully someone here can. I am not overly knowledgeable when it comes to coding and this is for my high school project so prompt help would be greatly appreciated.

My understanding of how to connect the two modules is that I must change the AT mode of one to a MASTER and one to a SLAVE, I have tried doing this through the Arduino Serial Monitor even running some scripts which were supposed to make it easier. I have tried with both baud rates of 9600 and 38400 but no luck, I connect have tried connected the RX,TX of the module to the TX,RX of the Arduino and vice versa, connecting VCC to 5v, and even with setting pin 34 HIGH. However whenever I get to the Serial Monitor I try send the message 'AT' as instructed by other posts and tutorials to which I expected to get the 'OK' response but instead I receive no response and the command I sent does not even appear in the Monitor. Again I am not that savvy with Arduino but I'm struggling to find a solution, if you know anything about this please help me out.

HC-05s are slave by default. They are configured at 38400, irrespective of the communication speed. If you are talking about setting pin 34, it rather suggests you are using a bare module. If this is the case, running it on 5v is not a good idea, as it is a 3.3v device. Check the Martyn Currey website for some guidance, he covers several models of HC-05. He also has procedures for connecting two devices, as does Philippe Cantin.

Ok thank you, I will check them out.
