I recently purchased a Bluetooth module from China. Now that I have it I have no idea how to use it. I cannot even get my computer to find it. I have tried connecting the “mode pin” to ground and to Vcc, but that does not make it discoverable.
How I can get my computer connected to this? And once I do, how can I actually use it like a serial port?
Thank you.
Here is a photo of the module.

I posted this question on the Electrical Engineering site as well, and I got a good answer from them folks.
