Product User’s Manual – BlueBee
1. INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW
BlueBee is Bluetooth wireless module from Cytron Technologies which is design to adapt the
form factor of XBee module. The pinout of BlueBee is compatible with XBEE which is
suitable for all kinds of microcontroller systems that have 3.3V power out. There are 2 modes
on BlueBee which are Transparent mode and AT mode. The baudrate of module may be set
using AT commands/mode.
The BlueBee module comes with an on-board antenna, the antenna provides better signal
quality. It acts like a transparent serial port, which works with a variety of Bluetooth adapter
and Bluetooth phone. BlueBee is compatible with XBEE starter kit, so you may use
SKXBEE-BOARD or Arduino-XBee shield for BlueBee communication. The BlueBee is
only slave module. Communication among two BlueBee is not possible.
