Wireless – Bluetooth
If your computer is not Bluetooth-enabled, you will need a Bluetooth
USB dongle for your computer.
Making a Bluetooth connection to the computer
Before you can make a Bluetooth connection between the EV3
Brick and the computer running the EV3 Software, you will need to
enable Bluetooth on the EV3 Brick. Directions for this can be found
on page 38.
Once you have enabled Bluetooth on the EV3 Brick, it can now be
connected to the computer and EV3 Software.
1. First, confirm that the EV3 Brick is turned on.
2. Open a new or existing program in the EV3 Software (see
the EV3 Software chapter on page 42 for directions on how to
do this).
3. Go to the Hardware Page at the lower right of the screen –
expand the window if collapsed (learn more about the Hardware
Page on page 51).
4. Click on the Available Bricks tab. If your EV3 Brick is not already
listed, click the Refresh button to locate the EV3 Brick and
check the Bluetooth box that will appear.
5. Accept the connection on your EV3 Brick manually, then enter
the passkey and press the Centre button for OK. The default is
1234. Repeat this in the EV3 Software.
6. The connection is now established and a ‘<>’ symbol is shown
on the top left of the EV3 Brick Display (next to the Bluetooth
icon) to confirm the connection.
To disconnect the EV3 Brick from the computer, click on the
Disconnect button next to the Refresh button in the Hardware Page.
More information about Bluetooth settings on the EV3 Brick can be
found on page 38.
