Update Software On Board

[DrJapan]

Is it possible to update the KCX_BT_Emitter? Is there software provided by the vendor?

Thank you, for the tools.

I am not sure what is meant by updating the KCX_BT_Emitter. If you mean can the arduino code to control the KCX_BT_EMITTER be updated, it certainly can. I am guessing you are interested in adding a HELP command as in #6 and possibly other things. Of course you are free to fork or copy the code and make any changes desired.
I don't know of any software provided by the vendor. If you find some, please let everyone know by responding here.

Hello!

I was referring to code residing on the actual chips. I've noticed, since your original post, the firmware has jumped to 1.7. I'm wondering, for future updates.

Now you have me thinking, I might try and implement the ability to change name displayed on devices. (The name emitted from the KCX_BT)

According to the vendor, the AT+HELP command isn't available, but I don't rely on Aliexpress listings as truth. I haven't been able to get my Arduino to display an of the output information correctly. I can either see the command being sent, but the return is garbled, or I can't understand anything. To be honest, I kind of gave up on trying to use the Arduino.

After getting the chip powered on, I have horrible interference, from somewhere. I have to figure out how to get rid of the humming, before I can fiddle around with programming.

Thank you, for the wonderful starting point.

Hello again!

I have received a pull request from github.com/pandel to merge in his v1.7 version that is shown in his fork of this repository here.
https://github.com/pandel/BluetoothAudioTransmitter_KCX_BT_EMITTER

I plan to accept his pull request and put it into a branch KCX_BT_EMITTER_V1.7. I have already created a branch with the previous version KCX_BT_EMITTER_V1.1. I will need to update the README files in each branch, which will take some time, but the code is either available as shown above or will soon be in this repository also.

There will probably be some new development on the KCX_BT_EMITTER_V1.7 branch after that as the new version has some new capabilities and apparently has some missing capabilities.

Thanks!
