BC600 Key Features
Configurable nAutoRUN pin and SIO_7 (vSP, OTA) with J5.
–
6-pin header (J5, 2.0 mm pitch) brings out BL600 module pin 9, SIO_7 (to configure module vSP
between Command, OTA, mode and Bridge mode), and nAutoRUN pin 40, [SIO_28] (for use with
configuring the module into AutoRUN mode or development [interactive] mode).
–
J5 header allows vSP [SIO _7] and nAutoRUN [SIO_28] to be pulled either to VCC or GND with the aid
of jumpers (included).
Power supply option:
–
Coin-cell battery CR1632 holder, J2 (fitted on underside of BC600 breakout board)
Jumpers (used to configure nAutoRUN [SIO_28] and vSP [SIO_7]).
Analog input sensing with optional resistive divider (R4 and R5) to scale down external voltages to below
BL600-07 series module ADC pin maximum.
Note: You must fit R5 and modify R4 value to scale. See Appendix section
5.1.
for more information on
ADC.
smartBASIC application loading capability
-
Via Laird’s vSP OTA app from Android or iOS or Laird Central role BLE radio running a smartBASIC
vSP OTA script

Understanding the BC600 Breakout Board with Integrated Coin Cell Holder
This section describes the BC600 breakout board hardware options. This breakout board is delivered with the
BL600-07 series module loaded with integrated smartBASIC runtime engine firmware; but no onboard
smartBASIC application is loaded.
Note:
smartBASIC applications are simple and easy to develop for any BLE application. Sample
smartBASIC applications are available to download from the
Laird BL600 product webpage
or via
the Laird global FAE network.
