DVB-BT600. Development board for BT600 modules. A PC or a host processor can communicate with
BT600 through an UART port. All IO pins are available at connectors.
A host processor can set BT600 to command and data mode by setting an I/O pin to high and low, respectively.
When using with a PC, a jumper is used to set the BT600 IO pin. When in data mode, the host processor
communicates with a smartphone, a computer, or other electronic equipment through this BT module.
1.1 Standalone Mode
BT600 can operate in standalone mode – without a host processor. A 32 bit ARM Cortex™ M0 processor with
128 KB of flash memories are built-in. Development tools are available from Nordic and other 3
rd
parties.
BT600 dimensions and pin assignments are the same as some modules from other manufacturers.
Programming tools are commercially available to reprogram module for standalone operation.
