Tutorial: How to Use RF-BM-S02 Bluetooth Module

The RF-BM-S02 is a Bluetooth BLE 4.0 module that allows for serial data transmission and reception from Arduino or other microcontrollers. Ideal for beginners exploring wireless communication.

What you need

• Arduino Uno
• USB A-MicroB Cable
• Arduino IDE Software

Steps

1. Connect the RF-BM-S02 module to the Arduino board using a jumper wire.
2. Configure the TX and RX pins of the module with those of the Arduino board (check the datasheet).
3. Open the Arduino IDE and install the ‘SoftwareSerial’ library.
4. Upload the example sketch provided for the RF-BM-S02 module.
5. Start serial communication from the IDE console.
6. Check that data is being sent correctly between Arduino and the Bluetooth module.

Example code

// Includi la libreria SoftwareSerial
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

// Definisci TX e RX del modulo RF-BM-S02
SoftwareSerial BT(10, 11); // RX, TX

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  BT.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  if (BT.available()) {
    char c = BT.read();
    Serial.print(c);
  }
}

Mini project
