Parts You'll Need

This project is sourced from another site, not written by us — this list is our best match of their components against what we stock, not a verified bill of materials. Always check the original blog (linked above) for the actual parts list before buying.

This list includes a generic resistor set as a placeholder — it is not matched to the exact value or part number this circuit needs. The correct one is specified on the original source page linked above; check it before buying.

Safety Precautions

Ensure that the HC-05 module's RX pin (not 5V tolerant) is connected via a resistor voltage divider when interfacing with a 5V microcontroller like the Arduino Uno to prevent damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

The HC-05 operates on 3.3V logic and its RX pin is not 5V tolerant. Connecting it directly to a 5V Arduino Uno TX pin can damage the module, so a resistor voltage divider is used to step down the voltage safely.
This specific project guide relies on HC-05 modules because they can be explicitly paired by configuring one as a master and the other as a slave, unlike some basic modules that only support slave mode.
First, verify that the TX of one device goes to the RX of the other (through your voltage divider), ensure both modules share the same baud rate, and check that the master module has been successfully paired to the slave's MAC address.
