Serial Communication between arduino and bluetooth module Introduction In the world of embedded systems and IoT (Internet of Things), wireless communication is a cornerstone. Among the various wireless communication protocols, Bluetooth stands out due to its simplicity, low power consumption, and ease of use. This blog explores the integration of Bluetooth modules with Arduino, focusing on serial communication—a fundamental aspect for enabling Arduino to communicate wirelessly with other devices. Understanding Serial Communication Serial communication is a method of transmitting data one bit at a time, sequentially, over a communication channel or computer bus. It is one of the most common forms of communication between computers and peripherals. Key Concepts of Serial Communication Baud Rate: The speed of data transmission, measured in bits per second (bps). Common baud rates include 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200. TX and RX: TX (transmit) and RX (receive) are the pins used f
