Arduino HC-05(ZS-40) AT Commands

-
The Bluetooth Module HC-05 can be act as Master and Slave. By default it is a master .

It can also be configured to have different baud rates:9600, 19200,38400 etc. By default the baud rate is 38400.

If you want to modify these settings. It can be acheived by sending AT Commands to the HC-05 Module.

In order to send AT commands , you have to connect HC-05 Module to an USB-to-TTY module. If you dont have that like me and have an arduino board then you can use it for sending AT Commands.

In order to achieve this, Open Arduino IDE Upload an empty sketch to the Arduino

void setup()
{

 }

 void loop()
{

 }
Connections:

1. Connect RX pin of Arduino to RX pin of HC-05(Not the other way:RX to TX)
2. Connect TX Pin of Arduino to TX pin of HC-05 .

Don't connect power then before this, you have to switch HC-05 Module to AT Mode. It can be achieved in two modes:

1.One is to hold the switch and then apply the power to it, i.e. connecting VCC of Arduino to HC-05 VCC and GND of Arduino to GND of VCC.

2. Connect the 3.3v of Arduino to Key Pin and then apply power and then remove the 3.3 V.

Now you can see the LED present on HC-05 blinks for every 2 Seconds. This is a confirmation saying that the HC-05 Has entered AT Mode.

Now open Arduino IDE , Tools->Serial Monitor

Set the Baud Rate to 38400 and also at the bottom select "BOTH NL & CR" and now you can type your AT Commands and it works





Various AT Commands:

1. AT+VERSION? : Returns the software version
Eg:+VERSION:2.0-20100601

2.AT+STATE:Returns the state of the module
Eg:+STATE:INITIALIZED

3. AT+UART: Returns the baud rate of the device
Eg: +UART:9600,0,0

4. AT+ROLE:Returns the role of the device either master or slave
Eg:+ROLE:0.If it is 0 it means slave and if 1 it means master.

To change to master mode type AT+ROLE=1

To change the baud rate type AT+UART=38400,0,0

AT+NAME only works when the KEY pin is high

bb.utils.contains yocto

bb.utils.contains  is most commonly used function in Yocto. grep in poky directory returned with 696 count. $ grep -nr 'bb.utils.contains' poky/ | wc -l 696 It's definition is present in 'poky/bitbake/lib/bb/utils.py' file This function returns third argument if the second argument is subset of the first argument else returns fourth argument Let's take an example to understand this. You can see from the above screenshot, when the second argument is a subset of first argument, "present" was returned, else "notpresent" was returned We can also use bb.utils.contains inside if loop. This we can use inside a recipe. if ${@bb.utils.contains('SOMEFLAG','NEWVALUE3','true','false',d)}; then     FOO = 'HELLO' fi

Difference between RDEPENDS and DEPENDS in Yocto

-
We normally observe these two (RDEPENDS and DEPENDS) whenever we open any recipe. What should we choose when we write our own recipe. DEPENDS -> Build Time Dependency RDEPENDS -> Run Time Dependency DEPENDS: When a recipe 'A' is DEPENDS on recipe 'B'. In this case, Bitbake first builds recipe 'B' and then recipe 'A' E.g. You need 'dbus' to be built before 'wpa_supplicant'. RDEPENDS: When a recipe 'A' is RDEPENDS on recipe 'B'. In this case, Bitbake deploys 'B' on the target system when it deploys 'A'.  E.g. 'perf' RDEPENDS on 'bash' In other words, DEPENDS are those set of packages that should be available while building package, whereas RDEPENDS are set of packages that should be available during execution of the program.

Building the Linux Kernel is a two-step process: Configuring the Kernel options Building the Kernel with those options. There are many methods available for configuring the kernel. make config: Text-based Configuration.  Options are prompted one after another. All options need to be answered Access to former options is not possible make menuconfig: Menu-driven user interface Allows to navigate forwards and backward directly between features Allows to load and save files with filenames different from ".config" Provides search feature It uses ncurses library for GUI. If the ncurses library is not installed, make menuconfig option fails. To install ncurses library on Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev make defconfig: Creates a ".config" file with default options from the ARCH supplied defconfig Configurations are generally stored in the directory: arch/$(ARCH)/configs $ ls arch/x86/configs/ i386_defconfi
