Configuration
Setup Maste/Salve
Bluetooth module supports hardware / software set master-slave mode, as follows:
| Pin | Low or NC | High 3v3 |
|---|---|---|
| 27 | setup mode by hardware | setup mode by software AT commands |
| 28 | hardware slave mode | Master |
Status LED pin 24
| Mode | LED Status | module status |
|---|---|---|
| master | blink even: 300ms-on,300ms-off | search and connecting |
| master | ON | connected |
| salve | blink even: 300ms-on,300ms-off | waiting pairing |
| salve | ON | connected |
Sleep Mode
- Module Sleep Settings
Only makes sense from the module Sleep mode, the slave mode via serial port to send "AT + SLEEP \ r \ n", if nothing unexpected happens, the module will return "+ SLEEP \ r \ nOK \ r \ n" and enter dormancy state, this state can be found to be connected.
- Wake-up module is set in three ways:
- Method One: You can send the string length of about 80 to activate the module. This activation can not contain the string to send AT commands, after the success of wake, serial will output "+ WAKE \ r \ nOK \ r \ n" string.
- Method two: short press system button SW1.
- Method three: direct mating connector.
- Key pin instruction
P1_3 as an input pin, short press control, you can perform the following functions:
- When the module is in hibernation: the module will wake up to a normal state after a successful wake, the serial will be a "+ WAKE \ r \ nOK \ r \ n" string.
- When the module is in the connected state: the module will initiate disconnection request.
AT commands
- Baud rate 1200,2400,4800,9600/default,14400,19200,38400,57600,115200 and 230400bps
- All commands need carriage return or \r\n
- All commands can only work when NOT connected, data transmission mode when connected.

Layout Design note
CE41 Bluetooth module works in 2.4G wireless frequency bands, should try to avoid the influence of various factors on the radio, and note the following:
- Bluetooth module housing enclosing the product to avoid the use of metal, when using part of the metal shell, should try to make the module antenna away from the metal part of the section.
- Product internal metal cable or a metal screw, should be kept away from the module antenna section.
- Module antenna part should be placed on every side by the carrier board PCB is not allowed to place in the panel, and below the antenna carrier plate milling empty, with the antenna parallel to the direction, do not allow laying copper or traces. Directly exposed directly to the antenna portion carrier board is a better choice.
- Try to shop under the module large GND, traces as extending to the periphery.
- Recommended placement position on the substrate module isolation insulating material, such as a piece of silk put in this position (TopOverLay)
