Bluetooth Bee
The Elecrow Bluetooth Bee is a Bluetooth V2.0+EDR serial module in an XBee-compatible form factor. It provides transparent wireless serial communication at up to 2.4 GHz, making it easy to add Bluetooth connectivity to any project with an XBee socket — no additional wiring required.
Based on the CSR BC417143 chip, the module supports SPP (Serial Port Profile) and can be configured as Master, Slave, or Loopback. It auto-connects to the last paired device on power-up and supports baud rates from 1200 to 1,382,400 bps with CTS/RTS flow control.
Key Features
- XBee Form Factor – Drop-in compatible with standard XBee sockets
- Bluetooth V2.0+EDR – Up to 3 Mbps modulation with adaptive frequency hopping
- Transparent Serial Bridge – Wireless serial connection with SPP protocol
- Configurable Modes – Master, Slave, or Loopback operation
- Auto-Reconnect – Automatically connects to last paired device on power-up
- 20–30 m Range – Class 2 transmission in open space
