HI, I have a really dumb question :-[ , but can't seem to get a concept through my head. I've used the HC-05's with much success in the past, and set those things aside for a bit. I'd been setting them up using at commands via an Uno in the past, but I bought an FTDI converter w/3.3v option to make things a bit easier. I just received a couple HC-05's and plugged them together with the FTDI; entered the command mode, and was able to send AT commands via the serial monitor in the Arduino IDE.
NOW for the part I'm not understanding. The baud rate in the serial monitor is set at 38400, but when I query the HC-05, (AT+UART?) It comes back with 9600,0,0. I would have thought the baud would have been the same as the serial monitor....or is there a conversion in the FTDI? What am I not getting? This ol'e man/geek would be ever so grateful if you could explain. Thanks in advance.
