Topic: Adding support for HC-05 'Compatible' BLE modules

HC-05 BLE modules are a thing now.

If I try to buy HC-05 modules today, they all seem to be these "HC-05 Compatible" modules, that are actually BLE modules running firmware of "hc05V2.3_le". RemoteXY is not running with these HC-05 modules. They do connect using BLE selection, but they are not moving any data.

I did get these new HC-05's to run on the Android app Serial Bluetooth Terminal Version 1.50 and they can send and receive data (on BLE of course). BTW, their default baud rate seems to be 38400. I haven't tried other baud rates yet. The AT setup is confusing with two AT modes and each sets a baud rate that is not directly affecting the other or what the other AT mode is reporting. I'm still investigating this.

I thought I read where the original HC-05 modules are no longer being made. So, I'm afraid new users to RemoteXY are going to get their hands on one of these 'new' HC-05's and they are going to fail to get them running. Seems like that might not be good for business.

Yes, this requires testing and possibly pre-configuration of the module using AT
