The ZS-040 Bluetooth Module is a cost-effective, HC-06 compatible version used for wireless communication between microcontrollers and Bluetooth-enabled devices like smartphones, tablets, or computers. This module provides similar functionality to the HC-06 but at a lower cost. It is designed to work in slave mode (just like the HC-06) and is often used in DIY projects, wireless data transmission, remote control systems, and communication-based applications.

The ZS-040 is a drop-in replacement for the HC-06, with similar characteristics, making it easy to integrate into projects that would typically use the HC-06 module.

Key Features:

• Bluetooth 2.0/3.0: Supports Bluetooth 2.0 and 3.0 communication for reliable wireless data transfer.

• Slave Mode Only: Operates in slave mode (cannot be set as a master device).

• Easy Integration: Works seamlessly with popular microcontrollers like Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi.

• Simple Communication: Uses UART for serial communication (transmitting data over a serial port).

• Range: Offers a range of up to 10 meters (33 feet), depending on the environment and obstacles.

• Low Power Consumption: Efficient power usage, making it suitable for battery-powered applications.

• AT Commands: Can be configured and customized using AT commands for pairing, baud rate adjustments, and other settings.

• Cost-Effective: A more affordable alternative to the original HC-06 module while maintaining similar functionality.

• Default Baud Rate: Typically operates at 9600 bps, but adjustable via AT commands.
