## Description

Much like its more well-known brother, the HC-05, the HC-06 is a transparent TX/RX pipeline Bluetooth module that allows devices to communicate via a serial connection with all of the Bluetooth specific handling taken care of by the module's software stack.

The HC-06 module itself is mounted onto a breakout board which provides easy, breadboard-friendly 0.1" headers for Power, Ground, TX, RX, and enable pins. This breakout board unfortunately no longer provides on-board logic level conversions. To keep your board safe we recommend adding a separate [logic level converter such as ours linked here](https://core-electronics.com.au/logic-level-converter-bidirectional.html) to ensure that you don't run into any issues with voltage spikes. You are able to power it from an Arduino's 5V pin or a microcontrollers regulated 5V supply

Getting started with the HC-06 is as easy as connecting it up to your microcontroller, configuring it using simple AT commands, and then pairing it with other Bluetooth devices.

Some HC-06's come with an onboard button that is connected to pin34 of the HC-06 module to enter into AT command mode, whereas others have a pin broken out to the header. We've covered using both versions of the board in our Bluetooth tutorials below.

**\*\*Note that the HC-06 can only be configured as a Peripheral device. If you need a module that can be used as either Controller or Peripheral, take a look at the [HC-05](https://core-electronics.com.au/bluetooth-module-hc-05.html)\*\***
