Problem using p9 and p10 while use the rn 42 bluetooth module
Hi,
My computer is connected through bluetooth with the r42 module. I use Tera Term as a terminal. The program I am testing should do the following: - when I press 'z' led1 should light up - when I press 'q' led2 should light up - when I press 's' led3 should light up - when I press 'd' led4 should light up
I am using mbed NXP LPC1768.
Edit: after testing the "readable", it turns out it always returns false. How can I change this?
Here is my code:
#include "mbed.h" //Serial pc(USBTX, USBRX); // tx, rx Serial device(p9, p10); // tx, rx DigitalOut myled1(LED1); DigitalOut myled2(LED2); DigitalOut myled3(LED3); DigitalOut myled4(LED4); int main() { device.baud(115200); myled1 = 1; myled2 = 0; myled3 = 0; myled4 = 0; wait(0.3); myled1 = 0; myled2 = 1; myled3 = 0; myled4 = 0; wait(0.3); myled1 = 0; myled2 = 0; myled3 = 1; myled4 = 0; wait(0.3); myled1 = 0; myled2 = 0; myled3 = 0; myled4 = 1; wait(0.3); myled1 = 0; myled2 = 0; myled3 = 0; myled4 = 0; while(1) { if(device.readable()) { int c = device.getc(); switch(c) { case 'z': //up code myled1 = 1; myled3 = 0; myled2 = 0; myled4 = 0; wait(1); break; case 'q': //left code myled1 = 0; myled2 = 1; myled3 = 0; myled4 = 0; wait(1); break; case 's': //down code myled1 = 0; myled2 = 0; myled3 = 1; myled4 = 0; wait(1); break; case 'd': //right code myled1 = 0; myled2 = 0; myled3 = 0; myled4 = 1; wait(1); break; default: break; } } } }
What did I do wrong?

Above you write that the LED on the controller blinks when you press a key. Is that the single LED near the USB connector? In that case you probably still send teraterm data through USB instead of via Bluetooth and the mbed never receives anything on p9/ p10. Check the com port in teraterm. BTW you can use serial USB for debugging at the same time as p9/p10. Is the r42 connected correctly: power, gnd, tx to mbed rx, rx to mbed tx.
I have indeed selected the wrong port in teraterm but even after I changed it, the readable still returns false and none of the leds light up.

You could test by connecting r42 tx to its rx and create an echo loop for teraterm. The r42 may need some configuration first. You can do that by using a simple mbed program that forwards all characters between USB and r42 in both directions and run a second teraterm
