How to Use JDY-62: Examples, Pinouts, and Specs

The JDY-62 is a Bluetooth module designed for wireless communication, offering a compact design and low power consumption. It supports serial communication (UART) and operates on the Bluetooth 4.2 protocol, making it ideal for short-range wireless data transmission. This module is widely used in IoT applications, enabling devices to connect seamlessly to smartphones, tablets, or other Bluetooth-enabled devices. Its ease of integration and reliable performance make it a popular choice for smart home devices, wearable technology, and industrial automation.

Below are the key technical details of the JDY-62 module:

The JDY-62 module has 6 pins, as described in the table below:

1. Power Supply: Connect the VCC pin to a 3.3V to 6V power source and the GND pin to ground.
2. UART Communication: Connect the TXD pin of the JDY-62 to the RX pin of your microcontroller, and the RXD pin of the JDY-62 to the TX pin of your microcontroller.
3. Enable the Module: Ensure the EN pin is pulled HIGH to activate the module.
4. Connection Status: Use the STATE pin to monitor the connection status of the module.
5. Pairing: Pair the JDY-62 with a Bluetooth-enabled device (e.g., smartphone) using its default name and PIN (default PIN is typically "1234" or "0000").

• Voltage Levels: Ensure the UART pins (TXD and RXD) are compatible with the voltage levels of your microcontroller. Use a level shifter if necessary.
• Antenna Placement: Avoid placing the module near metal objects or other RF sources to ensure optimal signal strength.
• Baud Rate Configuration: The default baud rate is 9600 bps. You can change it using AT commands if needed.
• Power Supply Stability: Use a decoupling capacitor (e.g., 0.1µF) near the VCC pin to ensure stable operation.

Below is an example of how to connect and use the JDY-62 module with an Arduino UNO:

• JDY-62 VCC → Arduino 5V
• JDY-62 GND → Arduino GND
• JDY-62 TXD → Arduino RX (Pin 0)
• JDY-62 RXD → Arduino TX (Pin 1)
• JDY-62 EN → Arduino 5V (via a 10kΩ pull-up resistor)

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

// Define RX and TX pins for SoftwareSerial
SoftwareSerial BTSerial(10, 11); // RX = Pin 10, TX = Pin 11

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600); // Start Serial Monitor at 9600 bps
  BTSerial.begin(9600); // Start Bluetooth communication at 9600 bps

  Serial.println("JDY-62 Bluetooth Module Test");
  Serial.println("Send data via Serial Monitor to transmit via Bluetooth.");
}

void loop() {
  // Check if data is available from Bluetooth
  if (BTSerial.available()) {
    char c = BTSerial.read();
    Serial.print("Received from Bluetooth: ");
    Serial.println(c);
  }

  // Check if data is available from Serial Monitor
  if (Serial.available()) {
    char c = Serial.read();
    BTSerial.print(c); // Send data to Bluetooth
    Serial.print("Sent to Bluetooth: ");
    Serial.println(c);
  }
}

• Use SoftwareSerial to avoid conflicts with the Arduino's hardware serial pins (0 and 1).
• Ensure the baud rate in the code matches the JDY-62's configured baud rate.

1. Module Not Powering On:

   • Ensure the VCC and GND pins are properly connected.
   • Verify the power supply voltage is within the 3.3V to 6V range.

2. No Bluetooth Device Found:

   • Check if the module is enabled (EN pin is HIGH).
   • Ensure the module is within range of the Bluetooth device.

3. Data Transmission Issues:

   • Verify the TXD and RXD connections are correct.
   • Ensure the baud rate of the microcontroller matches the JDY-62's baud rate.

4. Unstable Connection:

   • Check for interference from other RF devices.
   • Ensure the antenna is not obstructed or placed near metal objects.

Q: Can I change the module's name and PIN?
A: Yes, you can use AT commands to configure the module's name, PIN, and other settings. Refer to the JDY-62 AT command set for details.

Q: What is the maximum data rate supported by the JDY-62?
A: The JDY-62 supports a maximum baud rate of 115200 bps.

Q: Can the JDY-62 work with 5V logic levels?
A: The JDY-62 operates at 3.3V logic levels. If your microcontroller uses 5V logic, use a level shifter to avoid damaging the module.

Q: How do I reset the module to factory settings?
A: Send the AT command AT+RESET to restore the module to its default configuration.
