HC-05 (6 Pin) Pinout

• KEY/En: This pin is used to bring the Bluetooth module in AT commands mode. By default, this pin operates in data mode. The Key/EN pin should be high to operate Bluetooth in command mode. In HC-05, the default baud speed in command mode is 38400bps and 9600 in data mode.
• VCC: Used to power the Bluetooth module. Connect 5V / 3.3V to this pin.
• GND: The ground pin of the module.
• TXD: Connect this pin with the RXD pin of the microcontroller. This pin transmits Serial data (wireless signals received by the Bluetooth module are converted by module and transmitted out serially on this pin)
• RXD: Connect this pin to the TXD pin of the microcontroller. The HC-05 Bluetooth module receives the data from this pin and then transmits it wirelessly.
• STATE: It is used to check if the module is connected or not. It acts as a status indicator.

HC-06 (4 Pin) Specifications

• Bluetooth protocol: Bluetooth 4.0+ EDR standard
• Operating frequency: 2.4GHz ISM frequency band
• Modulation mode: Gauss Frequency Shift Keying
• Transmit power: ≤ 4dBm
• Sensitivity: ≤-84dBm at 0.1% Bit Error Rate
• Transmission speed
  • Asynchronous: 2.1Mbps(Max)/160 kbps
  • Synchronous: 1Mbps/1Mbps
• Safety feature: Authentication and encryption
• Supported configuration: Bluetooth serial port (major and minor)
• Supply Voltage: +3.3VDC
• Supply Current: 50mA
• Operating temperature: -20 to 55℃
• Size: 36.5*16mm
• Weight: 4g

HC-06 (4 Pin) Pinout

• VCC: Used to power the module. Connect it to a 3.3V pin of the microcontroller.
• GND: Connect this pin to the common ground of the circuit.
• TXD: Connect this pin with the RXD pin of the microcontroller. This pin transmits serial data (wireless signals received by the Bluetooth module are converted by module and transmitted out serially on this pin)
• RXD: Connect this pin to the TXD pin of the microcontroller. The HC-05 Bluetooth module receives the data from this pin and then transmits it wirelessly.
