The RN4020 PICtail Plus daughter board is a Bluetooth low energy demonstration board that showcases the RN4020 certified Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE) module. The RN4020 module is a single mode Bluetooth smart module that complies with Bluetooth core specification 4.0. The high speed UART interface and the general purpose input output (GPIO) ports are available on the RN4020 module to configure, control and transfer data. The RN4020 PICtail Plus daughter board has PICtail plus and PICtail connectors to interface with a PIC microcontroller (MCU) on the development boards that support PICtail Plus or PICtail interface with the required pin mapping. The PICtail board also has a PIC18 USB to UART serial bridge on the board to enable easy serial connection to a PC over USB.
