RN-42 Bluetooth Module Support
|
|
==============================
|
|
Bluetooth controller board works with HHKB Pro2, JP, Type-S and Type-S JP and it supports both USB and Bluetooth as keyboard output protocol. Bluetooth module Roving Networks/Microchip RN-42 is installed on the board.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Limitations:
|
|
- short battery life
|
|
- connection switching
|
|
the module always connects to the last linked device. Remote address setting does not work as expected.
|
|
- HHKB JP requires case modification for power switch and LEDs.
|
|
without switch power controlled by MCU? Probably using 3.3V regulator enable pin power of RN-42 can be controlled.
|
|
- Wiress certification of RN-42
|
|
Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Europe, FCC, Canada

NOTE:
|
|
- Lipo battery is not included. Cannot ship it from Japan due to regulations.

RN-42 Config mode
|
|
-----------------
|
|
You can tune/operate RN-42 yourself with config(command) mode.
|
|
|
|
1. hook up USB cable
|
|
2. run `hid_listen` command in console
|
|
3. turn on Bluetooth switch
|
|
4. press LShift+RShift+Delete(Fn+~) you will see output like followings:

RN-42 Initial Configuration
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
RN-42 is configured as SPP device at factory reset, you need to configure it as HID device. This is needed just once first time.
|
|
|
|
1. hook up USB cable
|
|
2. run `hid_listen` command in console
|
|
3. turn on Bluetooth switch
|
|
4. press LShift+RShift+ScrLk(Fn+O) you will see output like followings:

RN-42 Serial Connection
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
UART: 115200bps, 8bit, 1-stopbit, non-parity, no flow control
|
|
SSP: 115200bps, 8bit, 1-stopbit, non-parity, no flow control(via Bluetooth)
|
|
|
|
To enter command mode disconnect the module from host and type '$$$'.(you will see 'CMD') and type '+' to get local echo. To exit type '---'(you will see 'END').

|
|
each time GPIO is set, make inquiry and connect to the first found device
|

Apple iOS
|
|
---------
|
|
Keyboard can be used with iPhone, but mouse cannot.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Android
|
|
-------
|
|
3.7.1.5 Note: To connect with Android phone the modules must wake up 11ms every 2.5seconds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Power Management
|
|
----------------
|
|
Inquiry and Page window Idle or Active (3.1.1)
|
|
Downside: delay in discovery or connection time
|
|
SI, // set inquiry scan window(discovery) on/off duty?
|
|
SJ, // set page scan window(connection)
|
|
This reduces averaege power >20mA to 5mA(3mA in Sniff mode)
|
|
|
|
Sniff mode Transmit
|
|
Sniff mode is disabled by default and radio is active continuously when connected.(25-30mA)
|
|
In Sniff mode the radio wakes up intermittently and sleeps in very low power mode.(2mA)
|
|
SW,<val> // set interval timer(*0.625ms) 0000-7FFF
|
|
|
|
Deep sleep Idle (3.1.2)
|
|
In this mode the module shuts down completly and only draws about 300uA. To enable this set the most signifant bit(0x8000) of Sniff interaval timer.
|
|
SW,8320 // deep sleep enable(interval=0x320*0.625=500ms)
|
|
In normal sleep the firmware is still running in idle mode, and wakes up about 20 times per second to check ports, update LEDs, etc. During deep sleep, the firmware actually stops runnig some tasks and the LEDs only update about once per second.
|
|
To wake from deep sleep there are three ways: (in worst case wake up takes 5ms)
|
|
*send a charactor to the UART(first charactor will be lost)
|
|
*toggle CTS low to high and wait 5ms
|
|
*wake automatically every slot time(<val>*0.625ms)
|
|
Once the radio is awake it stay active for exactly 1 second of inactivity and then sleeps again.
|
|
Downside: latency and data loss
|
|
|
|
Disable Output driver Idle or Active (3.1.3)
|
|
S%,1000 // set all GPIO pins(0-11) to inputs.
|
|
|
|
Lower Transmit Power Idle or Active (3.1.4)
|
|
SY,<hex> // transmit power setting(takes effect after a power cycle and reboot)
|
|
Downside: reducing effective range
|
|
|
|
|
|
Optimizig for Latency
|
|
---------------------
|
|
By default the firmware is optimized for throughput.
|
|
SQ,16 // set latency bit
|
|
SQ,0 // unset latency bit
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuration timer settings
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
Remote configuration is used for the module to be configured with various commands over Bluetooth(SPP profile only?).
|
|
|
|
The module has remote configuration timer to allow remote configuration over Bluetooth after power up in Slave mode. In Master modes the remote configuration timer is set to 0(no remote configuration). (In Trigger Master mode the timer is used as an idle timer to break the connection after time expires with no charactors receive.)
|
|
ST,0 // no remote, no local when connected
|
|
ST,<1-252> // local and remote with timeout in seconds from power up
|
|
ST,253 // local only without timeout
|
|
ST,254 // remote only without timeout
|
|
ST,255 // local and remote without timeout
|
|
|
|
