How to Use Ai-Thinker Ai-M61-32S WiFi BLE Module

Begin by soldering the module onto your PCB or mounting it on a breakout board, then choose either the on-board antenna or attach an external antenna via IPEX. Supply 3.3 V (2.97–3.6 V) and at least 500 mA, connect to your host MCU over UART, SPI or I2C, and flash the BL618 with your firmware. Configure Wi-Fi and BLE stacks in your development environment, and wire up peripherals such as audio codec, GPIO or camera interfaces as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What programming interfaces does the Ai-M61-32S support?

The module provides multiple host interfaces: UART for AT-command control, SPI for high-speed data transfer, I2C for low-speed peripherals and USB2.0 device mode. Choose the interface that best fits your application bandwidth and pin count.

Can I use an external antenna for extended range?

Yes. The Ai-M61-32S comes with both an on-board PCB antenna and an IPEX connector. You can solder the module without the onboard antenna footprint and attach a U.FL antenna via the IPEX port for improved RF performance.

How do I enable Thread on this module?

The BL618 firmware includes Thread protocol support. After flashing the Thread-enabled SDK, configure network parameters in your development IDE and initialize the Thread stack via the AT or SDK API commands to join or form a mesh network.
