Hello!
I’m currently trying to communicate with a BC127 DISKIT from a Teensy 3.5 through the UART header without success. I have the RX of BC127 connected to the TX of the Teensy and the RX of the Teensy connected to the TX of the BC127. The Teensy pins are “TTL level” and I’m supplying the BC127 with power through the USB to HOST terminal. Theres 4 dip switched on the BC127 (sw1) which I’ve found need to be ON to communicate through UART to USB and supposedly OFF to communicate through the UART header. I’ve had communication through the UART to USB and all worked well.
Any ideas why I can’t get comms through the UART header? I’m using a program in the Teensy that has been proven, and can’t even get a simple echoback program to work. My BC127 has version 6.1.5
Still no progress. I’ve set the BC127 to auto connect to a headset. Here is my BC127 config:

So as soon as i power the BC127 up, it automatically connects to my headset. Using the USB to UART connection and serial terminal software on my laptop, when I enter “CALL 12 OUTGOING 1”, it opens an AGHFP channel. Perfect!
My problem is trying to give this “CALL 12 OUTGOING 1” command the the UART header from my Teensy 3.5. Can anyone help?
I’ve tried the SparkFun Arduino library without success. I’m just getting -2 responses. I’ve tried to go back to the very basics with this code:
#define HWSERIAL Serial1
const int LED_PIN = 13;
String Call = (“CALL 12 OUTGOING 1”);
String EOL = ("\r");
void setup() {
pinMode(LED_PIN, OUTPUT);
HWSERIAL.begin(9600, SERIAL_8N1);
delay(1000);
//blink 4 times to show teensy CPU is running
Blink();
Blink();
Blink();
Blink();
HWSERIAL.print(Call);
delay(1000);
HWSERIAL.print(EOL);
}
//-------------------------------------------------------------------
//Subroutines
//-------------------------------------------------------------------
//Blink Routine
void Blink() {
//blink the LED
digitalWrite (LED_PIN, HIGH);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite (LED_PIN, LOW);
delay(500);
} //end of Blink routine
void loop() {
}
Any help would be super appreciated.
Did you get it working yet?
I’m not an expert, but try adding pull-up resistors of different values and see what happens
Hi,
Have you tried to connect the USB to Uart to the Teensy to see if you can get communication to work?
Hi!
I had some progress. Using the Sparkfun Arduino lib I can now send commands to the BC127, but not receive anything back from the BC127. Even though the commands work, I still get a -2 response from the BC127 in the serial monitor, indicating a timeout error. I thought it might be a difference in baud rate problem, but if that was the case, the commands I send wouldn’t work.
@workplease,
Are you using hardware UART or Software UART? The Software UART (bit-banging) is notoriously buggy on Arduinos.
