HC-05 and HC-06 Bluetooth Modules
Technical Introduction and Usage Areas of Bluetooth Modules
Bluetooth technology is revolutionizing wireless communications, and Bluetooth modules such as the HC-05 and HC-06 provide access to a wider range of this technology. In this article, we will technically examine the HC-05 and HC-06 Bluetooth modules, provide examples of their usage areas and provide some basic information on how to use these modules.
HC-05 Bluetooth Module
HC-05 Bluetooth module is a low-cost, user-friendly and widely used Bluetooth module. Here are the technical specifications of HC-05:
Bluetooth Version: Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate)
Working Voltage: 3.3V or 5V
Working Current: 30-40mA
Maximum Communication Range: Up to approximately 10 meters (Class 2)
Communication Speed: 1 Mbps
Data Transmission Modes: UART (Serial)
Operating Frequency: 2.4 GHz
Supported Profiles and Services: SPP (Serial Port Profile)
Areas of Use: Wireless serial communication, robotics, remote control, smart home systems.
The HC-05 is especially popular for integration with microcontroller platforms such as Arduino. Thanks to the UART interface, serial communication can be easily established and can be used to transmit sensor data, control commands or any serial data.
HC-06 Bluetooth Module
The HC-06 Bluetooth module has similar specifications to the HC-05 and is generally used for the same applications. Here are the main technical specifications of the HC-06:
Bluetooth Version: Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate)
Working Voltage: 3.3V or 5V
Working Current: About 40mA
Maximum Communication Range: Up to approximately 10 meters (Class 2)
Communication Speed: 1 Mbps
Data Transmission Modes: UART (Serial)
Operating Frequency: 2.4 GHz
Supported Profiles and Services: SPP (Serial Port Profile)
Areas of Use: Wireless serial communication, robotics, remote control, smart home systems.
HC-06 is frequently preferred in projects, especially with its low cost and simple use.
HC-06 works only in Slave mode.
