Auto Master (SM,3<CR>) 

In this mode, the FireFly makes connections automatically on powerup, and 

re-connects when connection is lost.  This 
high speed connect mode, and cannot be broken by software break characters.
 

In all master modes the device will not be discoverable or allow configuration remotely over 
Bluetooth.

NOTE:  The RS422 interface uses the MAX490 transceiver.   This device is designed to operate with input voltage 
range of 4.75 to 5.25 VDC. 

 
RXD+ and TXD+ each have a 4.7K pull up to 5VDC.
RXD-  and TXD-  each have a 4.7K pull down to GND.

 
NOTE: The RS232 interface uses the SIPEX SP3232ECA chip with capacitor switch to generate the + and

Device Configuration 

 
The default configuration for the FireFly is
 

 

Bluetooth slave mode 

 

Bluetooth pin code 1234 

 

Serial port 115K baud rate, 8 bits, NP, 1 stop bit

 

Serial port flow control disabled 

 

Low power mode off 

 
Configuration is done by putting the FireFly into command mode and sending ASC
over the serial port or over the Bluetooth link.
 
Once you change the configuration parameters, they persist until changed or a factory reset is performed.
