# Bluetooth
|
||||
|
||||
## Bluetooth Functionality
|
||||
## Bluetooth Known Supported Hardware
|
||||
|
||||
Currently Bluetooth support is limited to AVR based chips. For Bluetooth 2.1 Qmk has support for RN-42 HID Firmware and Bluefruit EZ Key the later of which is not produced anymore. For more recent BLE protocols currently only the Adafruit Bluefruit SPI friend is directly supported. BLE is needed to connect to iOS devices. Note iOS does not support Mouse Input.

|
||||
* HC-05 boards flashed with RN-42 firmware. They apparently both use the CSR BC417 Chip. Flashing it with RN-42 firmware gives it HID capability.

### Adafruit BLE SPI Friend
|
||||
Currently The only bluetooth chipset supported by QMK is the Adafruit Bluefruit SPI Friend. It's a Nordic nRF5182 based chip running Adafruit's custom firmware. Data is transmitted via Adafruit's SDEP over Hardware SPI. The [Feather 32u4 Bluefruit LE](https://www.adafruit.com/product/2829) is supported as it's an AVR mcu connected via SPI to the Nordic BLE chip with Adafruit firmware. If Building a custom board with the SPI friend it would be easiest to just use the pin selection that the 32u4 feather uses but you can change the pins in the config.h options with the following defines:
|
||||
* #define AdafruitBleResetPin D4
|
||||
* #define AdafruitBleCSPin B4
|
||||
* #define AdafruitBleIRQPin E6
|
||||
|
||||
A Bluefruit UART friend can be converted to an SPI friend, however this [requires](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/issues/2274) some reflashing and soldering directly to the MDBT40 chip.
|
||||
|
||||
## Adafruit EZ-Key hid
|
||||
This requires [some hardware changes](https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/3psx0q/the_planck_keyboard_with_bluetooth_guide_and/?ref=search_posts), but can be enabled via the Makefile. The firmware will still output characters via USB, so be aware of this when charging via a computer. It would make sense to have a switch on the Bluefruit to turn it off at will.

<!-- FIXME: Document bluetooth support more completely. -->
|
||||
## Bluetooth Rules.mk Options
|
||||
Use only one of these
|
||||
* BLUETOOTH_ENABLE = yes (Legacy Option)
|
||||
* BLUETOOTH = RN42
|
||||
* BLUETOOTH = AdafruitEZKey
|
||||
* BLUETOOTH = AdafruitBLE
