bluetooth win8?

andresgoossen
andresgoossen over 10 years ago

I would like to pair an arduino uno with a Bluetooth module(hc-06) to a computer running windows 8.1.

I have seen people doing it with windows 7 using the Toshiba Bluetooth stack but apparently there is a problem using it with win 8.

    Hi Andres

    Although I've done some work with Bluetooth, I hadn't tried this so it took me a while to get around to it - I now have it working in both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 and the processes I went through were identical.

     

    The HC06 is connected to the Rx/Tx pins of an Arduino (Digital Pins 0/1) with the RX input to the HC06 through a simple resistive voltage divider to reduce the signal from 5V to 3.3V

     

    The Arduino is running this simple sketch to read serial input and output it to the serial monitor. I can transmit data from the PC using Tera Term terminal emulator, via the HC06, to the Arduino, where it is displayed on the serial monitor.

     

    // receive data on serial port and display on serial monitor
    // used to test Bluetooth connection
    // Neil Kenyon 18 Feb 2015
    //
    String myString = "";
    void setup()
    {
      Serial.begin(9600);
    }
    void loop()
    {
      while (Serial.available())              // Read while there are available characters
      {
        delay(3);
        char c = Serial.read();
        myString += c;                        // build the data string
      }
      if (myString.length() > 0)              //If we have a data string
      {
        Serial.print(myString);               // Output the full data string
       }
      myString = "";
    }

     

    1. On the PC, in control panel>devices and printers, add a device. If the HC06 is powered up, and in range, PC should find it.
    2. The device pairing code is 1234
    3. Device drivers will be installed
    4. Right click on HC06 in devices and printers window, select properties and choose services tab - serial on appropriate com port should appear.
    5. Get TeraTerm - official site is sourceforge - and install it, unless you have another terminal emulator
    6. start terminal emulator, select terminal (not telnet) and you should be away

     

    On my Dell Inspiron desktop, W7, the Bluetooth is on com6 and on my Advent Tacto laptop, W8.1, the Bluetooth is on com3 - it will tell you.

     

    Hope this helps
