HM-10 TEST ARDUINO SKETCH
/* YourDuino Example: HM-10 Test/Setup Description: Uses the Serial Monitor to talk with the HM-10. Launch Serial monitor then send AT commands. Start with just "AT", HM-10 should respond "OK", then "AT+HELP" to get other usable AT comands. Note that with HM-10 comands do not use ? or = after comand. i.e. rather than "AT+HELP?" simply use "AT+HELP" Make sure Seral Monitor is in CR & NL mode at 9600 baud.

Pairing 2 HM10 Bluetooth Modules
Two Arduino boards can communicate via mainly wired and wireless means. The HM10 module can serve as a serial-to-wireless bridge, allowing serial communication via wireless means. To achieve this with at least 2 Arduino's, we also need 2 HM10 modules. Here are the steps to follow:
1. Query the modem (HM10) to see that your connections are OK by sending AT
2. Query the modem to check if the TYPE is set to 0. The TYPE describes the module bond mode. There are 4 types of bond modes:
- 0 means do not ask to pair or for PIN
- 1 means PIN not needed but pairing needed to connect
- 2 means PIN needed but pairing not needed to connect
- 3 means require both PIN and pairing to connect
To set the TYPE, send AT+TYPE0
3. Set the role of one of the boards to slave by sending AT+ROLE0.
4. Set the role of the other board to master by sending AT+ROLE1.
5. On the slave device, get the slave address (mac address of the HM10 module). Use either AT+ADDR or AT+LADDR.
6. On the master device, scan for available devices. Send AT+INQ.
Recognize the mac address found by the master device. Take note of the index. In this case the index is 1.
7. Connect to the device's index (the number right after the +INQ:) with this command AT+CONN1. The number after CONN is the index of the mac address. What happens is that the HM10 stores the results of the scan in a temporary memory and allocates indices to each of the discovered devices. To display discovered devices. send AT+SHOW.
8. Now the devices are connected. You can send messages from either of the devices to the other.
