Hi,

I am struggling with connecting bluetooth module hc-05 to microcontroller. I have made the following connections.

Pin 1: En/Key : Gnd
Pin 2: VCC : + 5V
Pin 3: Gnd : Gnd
Pin 4: Rx : Connected to Tx of Microcontroller
Pin 5: Tx : Connected to Rx of Microcontroller
Pin 6: State: Not connected

I guess the connections are right or maybe I am missing something. When I send a character from the bluetooth app, it does not toggle the LED connected to the microcontroller.

Means your controller toggles the LED if it receives a character? Sure HC-05 is set to the same baudrate as microcontroller?

Does the HC-05 LED signal connection to the master?

The microcontroller suppose to toggle the LED when a character is received through UART. I have tested the microcontroller program on breadboard. If I send command from PC using serial terminal, it toggle the LED. This means that microcontroller program is working.

Latter I connect the microcontroller to HC-05. I have powered up the microcontroller with 3.3 V when I connect to HC-05. The smart phone find the device HC-05. I just pair it but not able to connect in the App.

When I power up the HC-05 and pair it, the status light flashes two times per second but when I try connecting the device in the App it gives two flashes per second and then off for one second and then two flashes.
 

The default baud rate of HC-05 in command mode is 38400 and 9600 in data mode. I am using 9600 in microcontroller.

Pin 1: En/Key has to be connected to ground for data mode.

I have found the mistake. I did not swap the Tx and Rx pins. Now it is working. I have connected Tx and Rx in the following way.

Pin 4: Tx : Connected to Rx of Microcontroller
Pin 5: Rx : Connected to Tx of Microcontroller
