Operating RB8762MB Introduction - Radicom provides RB8762MB Development Kit to provide a quick platform for testing and evaluating the RB8762HM Bluetooth module. Each RB8762MB has an USB connector for providing power and also for UART interface. Through this USB-UART interface you can issue AT commands to instruct the modules to establish a Bluetooth connection to transmit and receive data. Hardware Set-up - To provide power to the RB8762MB, plug one end of the USB cable into USB connector on the RB8762MB.
Step 3: COM Properties: Baud rate: 115200, 8 data bits, None parity, 1 stop bits and None flow control. Step 4: Click OK button to complete the settings. Set-Up verification – Issue atbp-v in hyper terminal. If RB8762MB is properly setup, you will see the device information, such as product name, manufacturer name, firmware version and BD address.
RB8762-Slave Operations: Step 1: atbp-v: get device information Step 2: atbp-a: enter advertising mode Step 3: When RB8762-Slave enters advertising mode, it can be connected by a BLE Master, i.e. RB8762-Master.
RB8762-Master Operations: Step 1: scan: enter scan mode. Step 2: stopscan: once the device BD address is shown, please stop scan mode. Step 3: rembd x00 x02 x5b x00 x15 x10: to remember the device BD address.
Step 4: con: connect the device. Step 5: rssiread: to read the device RSSI value. Step 6: disc: to disconnect the device.
OTA Upgrading Firmware Operating steps: 1. Plug in USB cable to power on RB8762MB. 2. Issue atbp-otaOn to enter OTA mode in RB8762-Master side. Note: Skip this process if you’re using RB8762-Slave. 3. Install OTA APP in your smart phone (please contact manufacturer for Android or iOS APP). 4. Launch the OTA APP and search for the RB8762 device name. The device name is either “RB8762-Master” or “RB8762-Slave”.
5. Save the new firmware file to your smart phone, and click “Select File” from APP. Click “UPLOAD”. 6. The firmware upgrade will start immediately, and it will take approximately 40 seconds to complete an update.
7. When new firmware upgraded successfully through OTA, you will see the new information shown on hyper terminal. 8. atbp-otaOff: Escape OTA mode in RB8762-Master side. Note: Skip this process if you’re using RB8762-Slave.
FCC & IC Label and Model Identification The RB8762 module family is FCC Part 15 and IC (Industry Canada) certified. The RB8762 is also CE marked. The modules are labeled with the RB8762 module model number and FCC Part 15 ID, IC registration number and CE mark. The label can be found on top of the metal shielding on the RB8762 Module. Note: Models RB8762 will have an additional Product ID label containing the HM model number.
requirements required with the module installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc). IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that this condition cannot be met then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
