About DIY Bluetooth 4.0 Audio Receiver
The Bluetooth Audio Receiver V1.3 is an electronic module created to allow the playback of various music and sounds received via Bluetooth 4.0 from a smartphone, for example, in a wide range of sound systems. For greater convenience, it features a simplified connection structure, with the pins including 5V, GND, L, R, MUTE, and LED, which have already soldered pins, eliminating the need for soldering in these locations.
The connection is simple: just provide 5V DC to the “5V” pin, connect the GND pin to the negative side of the power source (remembering that the module’s GND will be common to the speaker and the LED), connect the speakers or amplifier to the “R,” “L,” and “GND” pins (remember to use the accompanying capacitors in series with the L and R pins), and connect the resistor and LED that come with it to the “LED” pin (the LED flashes when active and stays on continuously when the smartphone is paired).
