Hardware Overview
How does it work?
Bluetooth 2 Click is based on the WT41u, a fully integrated Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, Class 1 module from Silicon Labs. Combining an onboard chip antenna, Bluetooth radio, and an onboard iWRAP Bluetooth Stack, the WT41u provides a superior link budget and 650-meter line-of-sight connectivity for Bluetooth applications with extreme radio performance or required reliability. Thanks to Bluegiga's iWRAP Bluetooth stack, the WT41u implements 13 different Bluetooth profiles and Apple iAP connectivity ensuring quick time-to-market. This Click board™ represents an ideal solution for rapidly integrating high-performing Bluetooth wireless technology without investing
several months in Bluetooth radio and stack development. The WT41u communicates with MCU using the UART interface, RS232 protocol, with commonly used UART RX, TX, and hardware flow control pins UART CTS and RTS. The UART configuration parameters, such as data rate and packet format, are set using WT41u software. In addition to the UART interface, an SPI interface is available, but only for system debugging. The WT41u uses 16-bit data and a 16-bit address serial peripheral interface to program the Flash memory and set the PSKEY configurations. The CS pin has a dual function, as the CS pin of the SPI interface or CTS for UART, can be
selected by moving the SMD jumper designated as COM SEL to an appropriate position. Besides the commonly used interface pins, Bluetooth 2 Click also has a general reset and bidirectional digital/analog I/O pins routed to the RST, PWM, and AN pins of the mikroBUS™ socket, respectively. This Click board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before using MCUs with different logic levels. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.
Features overview
Development board
Kinetis Clicker is a compact starter development board that brings the flexibility of add-on Click boards™ to your favorite microcontroller, making it a perfect starter kit for implementing your ideas. It comes with an onboard 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller, the MK22FN512VLH12 from NXP Semiconductor, a USB connector, LED indicators, buttons, a mikroProg connector, and a header for interfacing with external electronics. Thanks to its compact design with clear and easy-recognizable silkscreen markings, it provides a fluid and immersive working experience, allowing access
anywhere and under any circumstances. Each part of the Kinetis Clicker development kit contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. In addition to the possibility of choosing the Kinetis Clicker programming method, using USB HID mikroBootloader, or through an external mikroProg connector for Kinetis programmer, the Clicker board also includes a clean and regulated power supply module for the development kit. The USB-MiniAB connection provides up to 500mA of current, which is more than enough to operate all
onboard and additional modules. All communication methods that mikroBUS™ itself supports are on this board, including the well-established mikroBUS™ socket, reset button, and several buttons and LED indicators. Kinetis Clicker is an integral part of the Mikroe ecosystem, allowing you to create a new application in minutes. Natively supported by Mikroe software tools, it covers many aspects of prototyping thanks to a considerable number of different Click boards™ (over a thousand boards), the number of which is growing every day.

Application Output via Debug Mode
1. Once the code example is loaded, pressing the "DEBUG" button initiates the build process, programs it on the created setup, and enters Debug mode.
2. After the programming is completed, a header with buttons for various actions within the IDE becomes visible. Clicking the green "PLAY" button starts reading the results achieved with the Click board™. The achieved results are displayed in the Application Output tab.
Software Support
Library Description
This library contains API for Bluetooth 2 Click driver.
Key functions:
bluetooth2_factory_reset
- This function factory resets the devicebluetooth2_set_device_name
- This function sets the local device namebluetooth2_generic_write
- This function writes a desired number of data bytes by using UART serial interface
Open Source
Code example
This example can be found in NECTO Studio. Feel free to download the code, or you can copy the code below.
/*!
* @file main.c
* @brief Bluetooth 2 Click Example.
*
* # Description
* This example reads and processes data from Bluetooth 2 clicks.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* Initializes the driver, then performs a factory reset, removes all pairings, and
* sets the local device name.
*
* ## Application Task
* Logs all the received messages/responses on the USB UART, and if there's any device
* connected to the click board the module sends a desired message every 5 seconds back to it.
*
* ## Additional Function
* - static void bluetooth2_clear_app_buf ( void )
* - static err_t bluetooth2_process ( void )
* - static err_t bluetooth2_display_rsp ( uint16_t timeout )
*
* @note
* We have used the Serial Bluetooth Terminal smartphone application for the test.
* A smartphone and the click board must be paired in order to exchange messages with each other.
