HC-05 bluetooth module and RTS pin

Hi,

I am trying to manually set and reset the RTS pin on an HC-05 Bluetooth module. The module connects to my laptop without a problem and shows up as a serial com port. Using a c++ program on the laptop I open the com port and connect to the module without a problem and I can send and receive data. However, when I change the RTS state of the module using c++ program, nothing happens. RTS is always low level. I've tried multiple Bluetooth modules with the same result.

To verify that the C++ program can change the RTS pin and is working correctly I used the same program to open a USB-to-Serial com port. It works perfectly and the rts pin is toggled.

Can anyone help with the problem?

Best wishes

Why do you want to do this?
What code are you using to do this?
What is the wiring layout that you are using to do this?

I use the rts pin to differentiate between command and data packets coming from the PC. I'm using c++ code.

Wiring layout is attached.

Is that "use", or "trying to use"? I assume that, by command packets, you mean AT mode configuration commands. As I understand it you can only configure HC-05 by cable after you have put it in AT mode, i.e. you cannot have it in AT made and communications mode at the same time.
