    The description says it can go into master, however whenever i set role to 1 (master) and try run the master commands it gives error 303, which according to the documentation means “it needs to be in lord mode” which I am assuming is master mode. it always resets to slave mode after reset. Slave mode works fine though I bought these specifically for master mode.

    I think i found the problem. Pin 4 is supposed to be set to HIGH for software master/slave to work, instead it is wired to low.
    So by default this module will not work.

    Ps, error code is 302, not 303

    Raising pin 28 on startup puts it in master mode, had to solder a connector to the board it self to do this, not ideal

    Soldering pin 12 (the 3.3v) to pin 27 (the HW/SW role select switch) fixed it. It now works with software role select.

    “Key” button is not working. I can’t go into AT command mode. I checked the connectivity of the button labelled as “Key”, one pin of that button is connected to 3.3v but I can’t find any connection to the other pin with the pins of the main board.

    Key button is for clean pairing configuration. Connected to pin 5 on right, from bottom to top. Please double check.

    When not pairing, you can use AT commands, when paired you can not use anymore.
