Product details

BM78 Bluetooth 4.2 Dual Mode PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board

This Microchip PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board is a tool for users to investigate the BM78 Bluetooth 4.2 (BR/EDR/LE) Module. Users can develop the board directly via USB utilising the BM78 development software. The PICtail/PICtail Plus connector allows the board to interface with Microcontroller development platforms such as the Explorer 16 (DM240001) and Explorer 8 (DM160228).

The featured BM78 is a Bluetooth 4.2 Module that offers dual mode functionality, being able to communicate in BR/EDR and BLE protocols. It supports GAP, SDP, SPP, and GATT profiles. Data is transferred over the Bluetooth link via transparent UART mode, which when combined with the module’s UART interface simplifies the task of integrating the BM78 with a host MCU.

Features

Bluetooth® 4.2 compliant BM78 Module with on-board antenna and 2dBm output power
Transparent serial data connection over Bluetooth Classic Serial Port Profile (SPP) and Bluetooth Low Energy
USB interface for programming directly with a Windows-based Configuration Tool
PICtail interface for connection to Microcontroller development platforms such as the Explorer 16 (DM240001) and Explorer 8 (DM160228)
Automatic configuration mode for quick setup (default)
Manual configuration mode where MCU can access configuration settings
Integrated programming interface to update firmware and configuration settings
