 You can also use a BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) or BT4.0 device like the HC-10, but you will need a comms device that talks BLE/BT4.0 and not many computers do (a recent-model Apple Macbook Pro/Air will be able to, my recent-model HP doesn't), so by sticking to the HC-05 you can be sure of being compatible with the majority of devices.  You can also use a BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) or BT4.0 device like the HC-10, but you will need a comms device that talks BLE/BT4.0 and not many computers do (a recent-model Apple Macbook Pro/Air will be able to, my recent-model HP doesn't), so by sticking to the HC-05 you can be sure of being compatible with the majority of devices.

-I prefer the CZ over the JY for a few reasons – it’s really small, it’s really well made, it has the KEY (P34, state pin) already broken out and it does level shifting of all the pins back to the 3.3V required by the HC module, unlike some of the other breakouts.+I prefer the CZ over the JY for a few reasons – it is really small, it is really well made, it has the KEY (P34, state pin) already broken out and it does level shifting of all the pins back to the 3.3V required by the HC module, unlike some of the other breakouts.
  
 Of course, some of the US manufacturers make some great boards with superior features and wonderful quality control, but that comes at a price - personally I like paying $4 for a bluetooth module, rather than $25-30. Of course, some of the US manufacturers make some great boards with superior features and wonderful quality control, but that comes at a price - personally I like paying $4 for a bluetooth module, rather than $25-30.

 You can also change the pairing key if you want, either for easier access or for privacy – my Macbook defaults to 0000, but the HC-05 defaults to 1234. To make it publicly accessible, give it a pin of 0000: AT+PSWD=0000 - to make it secure, pick any 4-digits that you will remember. You can also change the pairing key if you want, either for easier access or for privacy – my Macbook defaults to 0000, but the HC-05 defaults to 1234.

 In this configuration, the UART is set to 115,200 bps, but the HC-05 is capable of 230,400bps, 460,800bps - right up to 1,382,400, although at those rates you will probably be experiencing some significant percentage of comms errors. The BT SPP link itself is capable of upwards of 3Mb/s, given perfect radio conditions. In this configuration, the UART is set to 115,200 bps, but the HC-05 is capable of 230,400bps, 460,800bps - right up to 1,382,400, although at those rates you will probably be experiencing some significant percentage of comms errors.

 It may be that you are able to perform the Bluetooth AT command setting using the SmoothieBoard itself, but I haven't investigated that method. If you have a spare FTDI USB-to-UART module, you can connect that directly to the Bluetooth module and program it using a terminal app. It may be that you are able to perform the Bluetooth AT command setting using the SmoothieBoard itself, but I haven't investigated that method.
