RN-42-HID-RD1

The RN-42-HID-RD1 is a reference design based on the RN-42 Bluetooth module which demonstrates the capabilities of the HID firmware. The RN42 is a small form factor, low power, class 2 Bluetooth radio for designers who want to add wireless capability to their products. The RN42 supports multiple interface protocols, is simple to design in, and is fully certified, making it a complete embedded Bluetooth solution. With its high performance PCB trace antenna and support for Bluetooth EDR, the RN42 delivers up to 3Mbps data rate for distances up to 20meters. Module support a variety of Bluetooth HID(Human Interface device) profile.
