Electronic – RN-42 Bluetooth – Can’t use data mode with Tera Term

bluetooth

I just got the RN-42, and I am using a simple set-up where I just power the chip, and short-circuit the UART Rx and Tx pins, hoping that whatever I send from my "Tera Term" terminal will be returned back to me. But no..

The thing is that I can enter 'Command Mode', so I am certain that I can connect to the module, but then, when I exit Command mode (and presumably enter Data mode), I type characters in and nothing gets returned.

Furthermore, I tried opening a second terminal window, for the other port created by the bluetooth connection, but still, no data going back or forth (even though I am certain that by short-circuiting the Tx and Rx Pins, data should be displayed on the first terminal).

Oh yeah, and I also tied together the CTS and RTS pins just in case, but still, no results.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Perhaps changing the baudrate to 9600 help you. I saw this problem and finally find out tera term don't show characters.
