2.6 Remote Command Configuration

This section describes the procedure required to demonstrate the RNBD350 remote command feature. This feature allows the control of an RNBD350 module without the use of a host microcontroller remotely from another RNBD350 module.

The remote command feature works by using a special BLE GATT service that emulates a wireless serial connection called transparent UART mode. This combined with a unique command set allows remote functionality of the module.

The remote command feature can be controlled by RNBD350 module.

For the first demonstration, two RNBD350 modules will be used. One will be called the Controller Module and the other will be Remote Module. The Controller Module is connected to the PC and is in control of the Remote Module. The Remote Module is connected to the PC for the status feedback.

Now the the RNBD350 Controller Module is in Remote Command mode of the RNBD350 Remote Module.

Remote Command mode testing

Now with the above steps the remote command mode is successfully configured.

Now lets try to control the RNBD350 Remote module with some sample example sections

Example 1

In this example the remote RNBD350 module will "Dump" its information like BDA Address, the module name, connection status, security settings,Enabled features and enabled services

Input Command: D<CR><LF>

Expected Resposne: BTA=3481F4AE0EA8

Name=Remote

Connected=FC0FE7801521,0

Authen=2

Features=0000

Services=C0

RMT>

Example 2

In this example the name of RNBD350 remote module will be returend to the Controller Module.

Input Command: GN<CR><LF>

Expected Resposne: Remote
