HC 06 TTL Bluetooth Module
The Bluetooth Transceiver HC-06 TTL Module with enable/disable button Breakout is
the latest Bluetooth wireless serial cable. This version of the popular Bluetooth uses the HC-
05/HC-06 module. These modems work as a serial (RX/TX) pipe. Any serial stream from 9600
to 115200bps can be passed seamlessly from your computer to your target.
The remote unit can be powered from 3.3V up to 6V for easy battery attachment. All signal pins
on the remote unit are 3V-6V tolerant. No level shifting is required.
Do not attach this device directly to a serial port. You will need an RS232 to TTL
converter circuit or Arduino XBee USB Adapter if you need to attach this to a computer. You
can either solder a 6-pin header or individual wires. The unit comes without a connector

SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM:
• In principle, HC-06 can work when UART_TXD, UART_RXD, VCC and GND are
connected. However, for better testing results, connecting LED and KEY are
recommended (when testing the master).
• Where, the 3.3V TXD of MCU connects to HC-06’s UART_RXD, the 3.3V RXD of
MCU connects to HC-06’s UART_TXD, and 3.3V power and GND should be connected.
• Then the minimum system is finished. Note that, the PIN2:UART_RXD of Bluetooth
module has no pull-up resistor. If the MCU TXD doesn’t have pull-up function, then user
should add a pull-up resistor to the UART_RXD. It may be easy to be ignored. If there
are two MCU which connect to master and slave device respectively, then before
paired(LED will flicker) user can send AT commands by serial port when the system is
power on. For example, consider the call command, sending out AT is already enough,
need not add the CRLF (carriage return line feed). If the LED is constant lighting, it
indicates the pairing is finished. The two MCUs can communicate with each other by
serial port. User can think there is a serial port line between two MCUs.
• The Bluetooth serial module named even number is compatible with each other; The
salve module is also compatible with each other. HC-06 are former version that user can’t
reset the work mode (master or slave). And only a few AT commands and functions can
be used, like reset the name of Bluetooth (only the slaver), reset the password, reset the
baud rate and check the version number.

1 VCC 5V
2 GND GND
3 TX Transmit TTL
4 RX Receive TTL
5 STATE NC
6 KEY VV for AT mode
COMMAND MODE:
• You can communicate with HC-06 chip by the serial port. The serial port uses two signal
lines, Tx and Rx, and supports 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 38400, 57600,
115200, 230400, 460800 and 921600bps baud rate. The default is 9600bps.
• The HC-06 Bluetooth serial port module instruction is Command instruction set.(Note:
AT command should be capitalized. AT instruction is only effective when the Bluetooth
module is not connected. Once you connect the Bluetooth module and device, the
Bluetooth module will enter into data pass through mode.)
Command 1: Test the connection command
Downlink command Response Parameter
AT Ok None
Command 2: Setting - name
Downlink command Response Parameter
AT+NAME< Para1> OKsetname - succeed <Para1>: device name
Default: BOLUTEK
Command 3: Settings - pairing code
Downlink command Response Parameter
AT+PIN< Para1> OKsetPIN - succeed <Para1>:pairing code
Default: 1234
Example: send AT+PIN8888
Return OKsetPIN Then the paring code changes to 8888. The default paring code is 1234.

Downlink command Response Parameter
AT+VISION OKlinvorV1.8 - succeed None
Command 5: Setting – baud rate
Downlink command Response Parameter
AT+BAUD< Para1> OK< Para1> - succeed <Para1>: baud rate
1---1200
2---2400
3---4800
4---9600
5---19200
6---38400
7---57600
8---115200
9---230400
A---460800
B---921600
C---1382400
Default: 4---9600
Example: send: AT+BAUD8
Return: OK115200
Note: After you change the baud rate, if it is not the default 9600, you need to use the setting
baud rate in future parameter setting or data communication. It is recommended that you
do not use the baud rate greater than 115200. The interference of signals will make the
system unstable. You cannot use your computer if you set a baud rate higher than 115200.
You should program with SCM to make the baud rate higher than 115200 so as to use this
baud rate and resent AT command to set a low rate.
