The RN4871&nbsp;uses a simple ASCII command interface over the UART. The board enables evaluation of the RN4871&nbsp;and development of Bluetooth low Energy applications in two different ways:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;">1) Out of the box: When plugged into the USB port of a PC, the board will enumerate as a Communication Device Class (CDC) Serial device.&nbsp; Through a terminal program, users can configure and control the module and transfer data using the easy to use provided command set.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;">2) As a PICtail/PICtail Plus, the board interfaces to Explorer 8 or Explorer 16 Development Board.&nbsp; The Explorer 8/16 modular development system works with one of hundreds of available PIC 8, 16, 32 bit Microcontrollers PIM (Plug-In-Modules).&nbsp; The PICtail bridges the host MCU UART to the RN4871&#39;s UART interface for data transfer or configuration using the straight-forward, easy-to-use

based on the ultra-compact Bluetooth 4.2 Low Energy RN4871&nbsp;module. The RN4871&nbsp;uses a simple ASCII command interface over the UART. The board enables evaluation of the RN4871&nbsp;and development of Bluetooth low Energy applications in two different ways:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;">1) Out of the box: When plugged into the USB port of a PC, the board will enumerate as a Communication Device Class (CDC) Serial device.&nbsp; Through a terminal program, users can configure and control the module and transfer data using the easy to use provided command set.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;">2) As a PICtail/PICtail Plus, the board interfaces to Explorer 8 or Explorer 16 Development Board.&nbsp; The Explorer 8/16 modular development system works with one of hundreds of available PIC 8, 16, 32 bit Microcontrollers PIM (Plug-In-Modules).&nbsp; The PICtail bridges the host MCU UART to the RN4871&#39;s UART interface for data transfer or configuration using the straight-forward, easy-to-use ASCII style command set.</span><br /></span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><br /><span style="font-family:&#39;arial black&#39;, sans-serif;">Applications:</span></span></span><br /> <ul class="pdpApplicationList"> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Embedded Design &amp; Development;</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Wireless;</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Communications &amp; Networking</span></li> </ul> <br /><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Features</h3> <ul> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Bluetooth<sup>&reg;</sup> 4.2 Compliant RN4871&nbsp;module with on-board antenna and 2dBm output power</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Plug-and-Play USB interface for configuring and controlling the module</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">PICtail interface for connection to Microchip&#39;s most popular Microcontroller development platforms, such as Explorer 16</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">USB indication, module status and User configurable LEDs</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Coin cell Battery, USB or PICtail power options</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">iOS app for demonstration</span></li> </ul> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Ships With</h3> <ul> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">RN4871 PICtail / PICtail Plus Daughter Board</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Mini-USB cable</span></li> </ul> <div id="devtool-required-devtools-section" class="xs-hide"> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-mb1 xs-border-bottom">Required Tools</h3> <div id="devtool-required-devtools-content"></div> </div> <div id="devtool-accessory-devtools-section" class="xs-hide"> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-mb1 xs-border-bottom">Accessory Tools</h3> <div id="devtool-accessory-devtools-content"></div> </div> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Documents</h3> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Data Sheet</h4> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-pdf"></i> <a href="http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/50002489A.pdf" target="_blank">RN-4871-PICTAIL Datasheet (pdf)</a> </div> </div> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">User Manual/Guide</h4> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-pdf"></i> <a href="http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/50002489A.pdf" target="_blank">RN-4871-PICTAILUser Guide (pdf)</a> </div> </div> </div> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: bluetooth, ble, microchip, transceiver, pictail, mcu, daughter_addon_boards, development_platforms_kits</div>
