Introduction 

BLE4.1 Module is DFRobot newly developed Bluetooth 4.1 transmission module, adhering to the 
same usage of Bluno, and increasing the star network function, KISS connection (Approach 
Connection). The new Bluetooth is designed based on BLE 4.1 technology. It has low power 
consumption and other special features. In the BLE transmission, the point-to-point output rate is 
4Kbps, equivalent to the original Bluno twice the rate. 
BLE4.1 Module uses DA14681 high-performance BLE chip, it integrates advanced power 
management system, coming with 3.7V lithium battery charging circuit. It obtains power directly from 
the USB port. Support 400mA maximum charge current,  

Feature 

 

Support BLE 4.1 master and slave switch

Support Bluetooth 4.1 multi-device cascade (up to 4) 

 

Support Arduino Bluetooth library (support for multi-Bluetooth connection) 

 

Support low power consumption Bluetooth (standby 25uA; interrupt 70uA) 

 

Two-way interrupt wake up: 

 

* BLE4.1 wake up controller via 

P4_2

 (high level wake up) 

 

* The controller wakes up BLE4.1 via 

WAKEUP

 (low level wake) 

 

Support KISS connection method (Approach Connection) 

 

Support Bluetooth firmware update 

 

Support lithium battery powered 

 

Support USB to charge the lithium battery 

 

LED status indicator
