Product details

The latest Bluetooth modem from SparkFun featuring the RN-42 module. These modems operate serially (RX/TX) and are excellent for replacing serial cables. Any serial stream with a speed of 2400 to 115200 bps can be transmitted.

Thanks to the integrated voltage regulator, the board can be powered with 3.3 V - 6 V DC - the RX and TX pins are also tolerant of 3.3 V - 6 V. The board should not be connected directly to the serial port of a PC - an RS232 to TTL converter is required!

Features:

  • Works directly with Arduino Pro / Pro Mini / LilyPad
  • Low power consumption: 25 mA average
  • Transmission distance up to 18 meters
  • Frequency hopping - still works in environments with heavy WiFi, 802.11g, and Zigbee traffic
  • Encrypted connection
  • Frequency: 2.4 - 2.524 GHz
  • Operating voltage: 3.3 V - 6 V
  • Serial communication: 2400 - 115200 bps
  • Operating temperature: -40 to +70 °C
  • Built-in antenna
  • Size: 1.75 x 0.65 inches (44 mm x 16 mm).
