πŸš€ Hands-on with the KT6368A Bluetooth Chip (SOP8, only $1.06 USD!)

Just tested the ultra-low-cost KT6368A, a dual-mode Bluetooth 5.1 chip in a tiny SOP8 package.

Despite its price, it's shockingly easy to use:
πŸ”Ή UART-based, supports AT commands
πŸ”Ή BLE or SPP (pick one at a time)
πŸ”Ή Minimal circuit – just power, crystal, and antenna
πŸ”Ή No need for complicated peripherals

What was the engineer's feeling after trying out the KT6368A Bluetooth Chip?

πŸ’‘ In 10 minutes, I had it soldered, connected to USB-TTL, and exchanging data with my iPhone via LightBlue.
 βœ… Works great for transparent transmission
 βœ… Already used in BMS, TPMS, selfie sticks, aroma diffusers, anti-lost tags
 βœ… Perfect for cost-sensitive IoT and smart hardware

For engineers needing simple + cheap Bluetooth, KT6368A is a solid option worth checking out.

πŸš€ Using Bluetooth Host Mode to Scan TPMS Sensors – A Practical Approach!
I recently explored how the KT6368A Bluetooth chip (in host mode) can efficiently scan Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensors, which operate in broadcast-only (non-connectable) mode.

πŸ” Key Insights:
βœ… TPMS Behavior
βœ… Optimized Scanning Strategy
βœ… Data Integrity
βœ… Real-World Testing

πŸš€ Using Bluetooth Host Mode to Scan TPMS Sensors – A Practical Approach!
I recently explored how the KT6368A Bluetooth chip (in host mode) can efficiently scan Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensors, which operate in broadcast-only (non-connectable) mode. Here's a quick breakdown of the findings:

πŸ” Key Insights:
βœ… TPMS Behavior:
These sensors only broadcast data (ADV_NONCONN_IND) and cannot be connected.
Sample payload includes: device name ("LCTPMS"), MAC address, sensor data (pressure, temp, voltage), and an XOR checksum for validation.

βœ… Optimized Scanning Strategy:
The KT6368A handles scanning autonomouslyβ€”MCU only needs to manage power.
Scan interval: 500ms–1s (best balance between responsiveness & power efficiency).
Power-saving tip: Turn off Bluetooth when not scanning to extend battery life.

βœ… Data Integrity:
A lightweight XOR checksum ensures reliable communication between the Bluetooth chip and MCU.

βœ… Real-World Testing:
TPMS broadcasts for ~20 seconds before going into low-power mode.
Used a pressurized sprayer to simulate tire pressure and trigger sensor wake-up.

πŸš€ Retro just got Modern!
In today’s video on DevWithZachary, I explore the Clockwork PicoCalc β€” a tiny yet mighty handheld computer powered by the Raspberry Pi Pico.

With just 264KB of memory, this device can run C, C++, Python, and Lua β€” proving that powerful programming doesn't always need modern specs.

What can you really achieve with less than 300KB? Let’s find out. πŸ‘‡
