DL-CC2541, Low Power BLE4.2 Bluetooth Module

Low-power Bluetooth Module with UART Serial Port Design, Full Duplex Bidirectional Communication 

DL-CC2541 is a low-power Bluetooth 4.2 module. This Bluetooth RF module can work in bridge mode (transparent transmission mode) and direct drive mode, it features an universal serial port design, full duplex bidirectional communication. After the BLE module is started, it will automatically broadcast, and the mobile phone that has opened a specific APP will scan and dock it. After success, it can be monitored through the BLE protocol.

In the bridge mode, the user's CPU can communicate with the mobile device through the UART port of the module, and the user can also manage and control certain communication parameters through the specific serial port AT command. The specific meaning of user data is defined by the upper-layer application program. The mobile device can write to the module through the APP, and the written data will be sent to the user's CPU through the serial port. After the module receives the data packet from the user's CPU serial port, it will automatically forward it to the mobile device. In this mode of development, the user must be responsible for the code design of the main CPU and the intelligent mobile APP code design for mobile devices.

In the direct drive mode, the user performs simple peripheral expansion of the module. The APP directly drives the module through the BLE protocol to complete the supervision and control of the module by the intelligent mobile device. In this mode of software development, the user is only responsible for the design of APP codes on the smart mobile device.
