The new module HLK-B36 launched by Hi-Link at the end of the year adopts the 2.4GHz WiFi+BLE4.2 solution, which realizes device networking at a lower cost. HLK-B36 and Hi-Link's other two-in-one module HLK-B35 are basically on the market at the same time, but the two models have a slight difference in chip usage and support protocol, which is different from that HLK-B35 supports BLE5.0 protocol. HLK-B36 supports BLE4.2, has increased power consumption, supports Bluetooth distribution network, has a high success rate, achieves a lower cost, and has obvious price advantages for bulk shipments. Hi-Link Official WeChat: HLKtech09.

HLK-B36 supports 802.11b/g/n standard, BLE4.2 protocol, integrates XT804, WLAN MAC/Baseband/BLE4.2 in one, embedded TCP/IP protocol stack, can realize user serial port-wireless network (WIFI/BLE ) Conversion between. Through the HLK-B36 module, it can provide a complete and fast solution for the user's serial device to transmit data through the network, which is simple and convenient to use.

Hi-Link launched several WiFi and Bluetooth two-in-one modules in early 2021, a highly integrated solution that can save design costs, improve design efficiency, and facilitate product upgrades. HLK-B36 has a very low price in a two-in-one module, which is extremely competitive. It is designed for products with stricter cost control. It can not only meets the needs of product networking, but also controls the price. It is the best choice for low-cost application networking.

Even if it is a low-cost solution, HLK-B36 should have many functions. There are Alibaba Cloud and transparent transmission versions. It supports serial to WIFI STA, serial to WIFI AP and serial to BLE mode. Retaining the advantage of small size, the package adopts in-line form, which can basically achieve hardware compatibility. The antenna adopts an external I-PEX connector and a built-in PCB antenna. The working power consumption in normal mode, the average value is 110mA, the peak value: 400mA. It can be widely used in smart home, instrumentation, Wi-Fi remote monitoring/control, toy field, color LED control, fire/security intelligent integrated management, smart card terminals, wireless POS machines, handheld devices, etc.

Application field

The module has a matching test base plate, and the module work instructions:

The WiFi indicator flashes three times periodically: it means that the module is in STA mode and has not been connected to the target AP hotspot;

The WiFi indicator flashes four times periodically: it means that the module is in 2.4G AP mode, but it does not indicate whether there is a sta client device connected;

The WiFi indicator flashes quickly: it means that the module is in STA mode and connected to a WiFi hotspot. The module LED will flash quickly when there is data transmission.
