Standalone ESP8266/ESP-12, read GPIO with pull-up resistor.

This example set GPIO12 as input with pull-up resistor. Turn ON/OFF on-board LED according to GPIO12 input.

/*
 ESP8266 Read input from GPIO12, write to on-board LED
*/

int pin_Button = 12;  //GPIO12 

void setup() {

  pinMode(BUILTIN_LED, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(pin_Button, INPUT_PULLUP);
}

void loop() {

  if(digitalRead(pin_Button)){
    digitalWrite(BUILTIN_LED, LOW);   //LED ON
  }else{
    digitalWrite(BUILTIN_LED, HIGH);  //LED OFF
  }

}

Test HM-10 and AT-09, Bluetooth 4.0 Module, with Android

Test HM-10 and AT-09 Bluetooth 4.0 Module with Android BluetoothLeGatt sample project, posted on my another blogspot android-er.

- Step-by-step how to modify BluetoothLeGatt sample to Connect HM-10 (BLE Module) to Android device.

- Modified BluetoothLeGatt sample connect AT-09 (Bluetooth LE Module)


- Implement dummy Heart Rate Measurement profile using Arduino Due + HM-10, for BluetoothLeGatt sample code

- Android send data to Bluetooth LE device, using HM-10 BLE Module

Test HM-10 Bluetooth 4.0 BLE module with FTDI adapter

We can connect HM-10 Bluetooth 4.0 BLE module to PC using FTDI USB-Serial adapter, via USB serial. Such that we can test it by sending AT command using terminal, such as Serial Monitor in Arduino IDE.

Connection:

HM-10 VCC - separated 3.3V

HM-10 GND - FTDI GND

HM-10 Tx - FTDI Rx

HM-10 Rx - FTDI Tx

(both HM-10 and FTDI adapter operate on 3.3V).

- Connect FTDI adapter to PC, via USB adapter.

- Run Arduino IDE, select correct port to FTDI adapter.

- Start Serial Monitor, set baud rate of 9600, and No line ending.

- Supply power (3.3V) to HM-10. Its on-board LED will blink.

- Then you can enter AT command in Arduino Serial Monitor.

(To download document of HM-10 AT command, refer last post "HM-10 and AT-09 Bluetooth 4.0 BLE module")

This video show how to:

By default, the service UUID and Characteristic of HM-10 are:
- Service UUID: 0xFFE0
- Characteristic: 0xFFE1

It can be referenced in HM-10 document. Or obtain from devices using AT command:
(you can set both service UUID and Characteristic using AT command also)
- Query service UUID: AT+UUID?
- Query Characteristic: AT+CHAR?

AltSoftSerial Library for Arduino Boards

AltSoftSerial is a software emulated serial library for Arduino boards, using hardware timers for improved compatibility.

AltSoftSerial is particularly useful when simultaneous data flows are needed. It is capable of running up to 57600 baud on 16 MHz AVR with up to 9 µs interrupt latency from other libraries. Slower baud rates are recommended when other code may delay AltSoftSerial's interrupt response by more than 9 µs.

AltSoftSerial Library can be installed to Arduino IDE using Library Manager.
