1. Overview 1.1. BLE232 overview The BLE232 is an interface adapter converting RS232 communication to Bluetooth 4.0. It has been designed to transfer state messages. It is not especially suitable to transfer streams or large files, although it works for small files or less volume streams.
Features 2. Features • RS232 interface • Bluetooth 4.0 central or peripheral connectivity • Powered via serial port or externally • Configuration via serial port • Wireless serial bridging • Connects serial port to smartphones, sensors and other Bluetooth devices that supports Bluetooth 4.0 •...
The BLE232 can be powered internally via the serial line. The signals DCD, DSR, RST, CTS, DTR and RI can be used as power supply. The BLE232 can as well be powered by an external power source between 3 to 16 Volt. Figure 3.1. Serial interface and power supply schematics...
Register description 4.2. BLE232 configuration via serial port Open a serial console program to change the settings of the BLE232 module. After power up, you have a certain time to go into the setting menu (default: 500ms). At this time should you go into the setting menu with three plus signs (+++).
