You can also navigate to where you have the MPIDE folder installed on your computer then follow the following file path below to see all of the available board folders then select the folder for your current board and reference the Board_Defs.h file, scrolling down in that file until you see the “Serial Port Declarations”.

The connections will vary according to the microcontroller board you are using so be sure to check your datasheet or board’s manual for pinouts to ensure you are connecting to the correct pins.

When in MPIDE with the code sketch opened, hold down the “ctrl” (control) key on your keyboard then press the “F” key, a pop-up will show, you can then type the word Serial inside the “Find:” section and type the word Serial0 (or whichever one you wanted to use) into the “Replace with:” section, once both sections have what you wanted to change click on the “Replace All” button and all the changes have been made throughout the code example. Note2: You may want to change the code attached in this post to use a different serial port, so you will want to replace the word “Serial” in the code to either Serial0 or Serial1, etc according to the pins you would like to connect to.Ī quick and easy way of replacing all of the ‘Serial’ words with a few quick steps is the following:

Note: RX means receive and TX means transmit, so the Bluetooth module will transmit to the microcontrollers receive pin and vice versa. The power bank is optional and can be switched out with power source and the jumper wire connection style may vary depending on the connectors available on your microcontroller board to make the necessary connections.Ĭonnections between the microcontroller pins to the stepper motor PCB are as follows:īluetooth Module PIC32 Microcontroller Pin VCC on the Bluetooth module should be connected to 3.3 volts and GND should be connected to ground seen in the photo.

Important note, the Bluetooth module power source and inputs should be at 3.3 volts only. This is a simple starter tutorial to work with a Bluetooth module (HC-05 or HC-06) using the PIC32BLUE Android application (you can use PIC32BLUE+ and/or PIC32BTN apps instead too depending on which example code you are using that is attached below).Ĥ) Power source (10,000 mAh power bank battery pack 5volts)ĥ) Android phone/tablet with PIC32BLUE installed (device must have Bluetooth capability)
