Take the low-power Bluetooth serial port HID module BM44 as an example:
- Hardware connection: Connect the BM44 module to a PC or mobile phone via USB-to-TTL module, and make sure the module is powered on.
- Software Settings: Open the serial port tool, set the port number TO "CP210X USB TO UART", the baud rate to 9600, and click "Open Serial Port".
- To query the Bluetooth NAME: Send "AT+NAME?" in the serial port tool. If you receive a reply of "+NAME:xxx", it indicates that the module is working properly.
- To modify the Bluetooth NAME (optional) : If you need to change the Bluetooth NAME of the module, send the command "AT+NAME= new name", such as "AT+ name =LINK_001". Receiving an "OK" reply indicates that the modification is successful.
If the device supports low-power Bluetooth function, follow the above steps to enable it. If you encounter any problems, you can check whether the device supports low-power Bluetooth and whether the Bluetooth driver is installed properly, etc.
