HC-08 BLE Master & Slave Bluetooth Module

Connect this Bluetooth 4.0 BLE Serial Bluetooth Module to have your Arduino or Raspberry Pi communicate wirelessly via Bluetooth 4.0 in both Master and Slave modes. Using this module your Raspberry Pi, Arduino or other microcontroller will be able to connect to other bluetooth devices using Bluetooth 4.0 such as iOS or Android phones and bluetooth enabled computers as a master or slave device! Perfect for medium range wireless communications up to 262 feet.

Pinout: (See connection diagrams in images above for Arduino & Raspberry Pi)
