From a software perspective, are there any suggested bits to consider? For example, what software will make a virtual com port on a PC? I found one fellow who claimed to use a Toshiba stack program, however Toshiba has discontinued it so you have to make questionable decisions to get the software. Are there any other software options? Are there options for an Android system, Linux ect?

It is worth noting that HC-06 is suggested as an easier to configure option.

Hi there, using the HC-05 bluetooth ttl module.

Just trying to configure the bluetooth module but I can't seem to get any connection... Tried using bluetooth direct in TS, and RS232 mode...

I've configured it to 38400 baud, stop 1bit, pairity 2bit using command; AT+UART=38400,1,2

Any useful tips I can try?

For future reference...

For HC-05 use command; AT+UART=38400,0,0

Got it working!

Sweet, and good job.

Did you get the on working on the Frankenso board, or was it on it's own? If it was the frankenso, I believe you are the first to make that go. We have been using the FTDI chip. Once we had communications, @russian focused his energy and resources on other features.

Cmon, I was using it with bare discovery board. I doubt pretty much it would be working properly on the car because of emi and pretty noisy environment, but anyway, looking forward to see the first results on real engine.

Were either of these with rusEFI, or were they isolated situations? Is there code that can be shared?

what sort of code you need? I had successful experience connecting to rusefi with tunerstudio and devconsole via bluetooth module back in 2013. ts was not stable at that time (but it wasn't stable with cable connection either), devconsole, as far as I remember, had only very seldom disconnects. But that was pure home environment, without any high voltage cables, sparks, brushed motors, high amp relays or anything of that sort. that's why i am curious how that would work on a real car. on the other hand, bluetooth handsfrees etc are working jut fine in the cars... not in the engine bay though..

I'm not sure what code would be helpful. I believe it would be a patch to the current version of rusEFI code. Then @russian could merge the patch with the existing code, or at least he would have knowledge of how to make that aux board work. I believe that right now wireless has been a lower priority for @russian, but if we make it easy enough for him, he might bump it up in priority and adopt it to the main stream of code.

blue tooth is easier than that. As long as the HC module is initialized properly, one does not need to do anything extra - for the firmware there is not difference between a wired USB/TTL device and a HC device (again, once it's initialized once)

While theoretically we might could have HC-05 initialization logic in rusEfi, we would not. As long as one uses a HC-06 does not need initialization), or properly initialized HC-05, no chances are needed in the firmware.

@ has one on his unit for some time now.

No, I used this on my BMW PnP board, this does tie the Tx&Rx pins directly to PC10&11 via 1kOhm resistors.

No problem with EMI or any other noise on my end. Been using these modules on MSII for a couple of years now Just be sure to pair it with the computer properly, and new feature in TS is that you can choose BluetoothDirect connection method

I use hc05 in my el.project arround cars also and did not have any trouble with EMI. I can provide a short init. code for first setting. Many pieces used and no problem.
