Bluetooth has a wide range of applications like data transfer, wireless music, device control
etc. The reason Bluetooth is used in such applications is its ease of implementation, low power
consumption and the most important thing is its availability i.e. almost all mobile phone
(whether it may a simple feature phone or an advanced smart phone) is equipped with
Bluetooth.

ARM 7 based LPC2148 is one of the successful and popular 32 bit microcontrollers. It has
many on chip features. But today, we are going to concentrate on the serial communication
i.e. UART feature of the LPC2146 MCU.

Interfacing Bluetooth With LPC2148 6

In this project, we are going to interface the Bluetooth module with the ARM 7 based MCU i.e.
LPC2148. In the later projects, we will use this interface and develop some advanced projects.

One of the major applications of Bluetooth module is in the eld of Home Automation and
Smart Home systems, where a Bluetooth enabled device like a smart phone or tablet can be
used to control the smart home application.

Since we are using the LPC2148 development board in this project, some of the mentioned
components might already be embedded on to the board. The components required for the
implementation of the project are as follows:

LPC2148 Microcontroller based stand alone or complete development board

HC 05 Bluetooth Module (any UART based Bluetooth module)
8 x LEDs
8 x 1 K Resistors
USB to Mini USB Cable
Power supply
Connecting wires
Smart Phone with Bluetooth Controller Application

Circuit Design
The circuit design for the interface of Bluetooth Module with LPC2148 involves the connection
between the HC 05 Bluetooth Module and the ARM7 based MCU LPC2148. The details of the
complete circuit design are as follows.

The HC 05 Bluetooth module is an UART based device. Hence, the connection between the
LPC2148 and Bluetooth module requires only two wires. In LPC2148, there are two UART
modules: UART 0 and UART 1. The UART 0 in our development board is connected to the USB
to serial converter.

So, we are connecting the Bluetooth Module to the UART 1 i.e. PORT0 Pins P0.8 (Pin 33) and
P0.9 (Pin 34). The TX pin of the Bluetooth Module is connected to RXD1 (P0.9 Pin 34) of
LPC2148. Similarly, the RX pin of the Bluetooth Module is connected to TXD1 (P0.8 Pin 33) of
LPC2148.

Note: The TX and RX pins of Bluetooth Module can tolerate only 3.3V. Since the output of the
LPC2148 MCU is only 3.3V, the connections can be made directly.

The Bluetooth Module has on board 3.3V regulator. So, 5V supply can be given to the
module.

In order to demonstrate a successful transmission of data between the Bluetooth Module /

LPC2148 and smart phone, we are turning few LEDs ON and OFF. As the board already
consists of LEDs, we are not connecting any additional LEDs.

On the development board, the LEDs are connected to PORT1 Pins P1.18 to P1.25. So, we will
write the program as per these pins.

Working of the Project

The project successfully demonstrates the interface of Bluetooth Module with LPC2148. It
involves the UART Module of the LPC2148. So, it is advised to read our UART tutorial for
LPC2148 MCU.

As mentioned in the circuit design, the Bluetooth Module is connected to UART 1 module in
the LPC2148. When the Bluetooth module is successfully paired with the smart phone, we can
con gure the application in the phone to transmit the desired data.

In the program, it is con gured that when 0 is received by the Bluetooth Module, all the LEDs
that are connected as per the circuit diagram will be turned ON. Similarly, when 1 is received,
all the LEDs will be turned OFF.

So, it is important to con gure the UART module properly. Also, the PLL module is used to
generate CCLK and PCLK. The con guration of PLL module and other related information are
explained in our ARM PLL Tutorial.

Understanding the Program

The programming part of the project includes con guring the GPIO pins, PLL0 Module, UART1
Module and controlling the LEDs. We will see how these modules are con gured individually.

http://www.electronicshub.org/interfacingbluetootharm7lpc2148/ 6/15
2/2/2017 InterfacingBluetoothwithARM7LPC2148

First is the PLL0 module. PLL0 module is con gured to generate the system clock i.e. CCLK at
60 MHz. So, we will enable the PLL0 module and also set the multiplier and divider values. In
order to do that, we will use the following commands.

PLL0CON = 0x01;

PLL0CFG = 0x24;

Once the PLL0 module in initialized and the multiplier and divider values are set, the next step
is to x these multiplier and divider values. For this, we will use the following feed sequence.

PLL0FEED = 0xAA;

PLL0FEED = 0x55;

Now, we will check if the PLL0 module is locked to the speci ed values with the help of
PLL0STAT register and once it is locked, we will connect the PLL module.

while (! (PLL0STAT & 0x00000400));

PLL0CON = 0x03;

Another Feed sequence is written to lock the PLL0 module. Now, the CCLK will oscillate at 60
MHz.

PLL0FEED = 0xAA;

PLL0FEED = 0x55;

Finally, the peripheral clock is con gured to replicate the system clock.

VPBDIV = 0x01;

The next module we are going to discuss is the UART module. As mentioned earlier, we are
using the UART1 module in the project.

So, the rst step is to select the TX1 and RX1 pins using the PINSEL register.

PINSEL0 = 0x50000;

We need to set the UART frame format for data transmission. With the following instruction,
we will set it as 8 Data bits, no Parity bits and 1 Stop bit.

http://www.electronicshub.org/interfacingbluetootharm7lpc2148/ 7/15
2/2/2017 InterfacingBluetoothwithARM7LPC2148

U1LCR = 3 | (1<<7);

We need to set the Baud Rate to 9600 bps. For that, the DLL and DLM values are set as
follows.

U1DLL = 110;

U1DLM = 1;

Now, for more accurate baud rate, the Mulval and Divval values are set.

U1FDR = (MULVAL<<4) | DIVADDVAL;

All the values are locked using the following command. Also the RX and TX FIFO is enabled for
data transmission and reception.

U1LCR &= 0x0F;

U1FCR = 0xC1;

With these commands, the UART is setup successfully and is ready to receive and transmit
the data. The next step is to read the received data and turn the LEDs ON or OFF.

char c = UART1Read();

if( c == 0 )

IO1SET = 0x03FC0000;

else if (c == 1)

IO1CLR = 0x03FC0000;

Interfacing a Bluetooth Module with a Microcontroller has many advantages and

applications. The best example is in the area of Smart Home systems and Home
Automation systems.
With a powerful processor like ARM7, the range of applications can be increased to
industrial, robotic and consumer grade applications.
