BLUETOOTH
This is where Bluetooth is enabled on the EV3 Brick, and where you
can choose some specific privacy and Apple iOS settings. Here you can
also connect to other Bluetooth devices such as another EV3 Brick.
When you select Bluetooth on the Settings page, there are four
options presented – Connections, Visibility, Bluetooth, and iPhone/
iPad/iPod. To go back to the main Settings screen, press the Down
button until the check mark at the bottom of the screen is highlighted,
then press the Centre button for OK.
Bluetooth
It is here that you enable standard Bluetooth on the EV3 Brick. Using
the Up and Down buttons, select the word ‘Bluetooth’, then press
the Centre button for OK. A check mark will appear in the Bluetooth
box. Bluetooth is now enabled on your EV3 Brick, and a Bluetooth
icon will be shown in the top left of the EV3 Brick Display.
Note: This setting will not allow you to connect to an iOS device. For
this, you will also need to select the iPhone/iPad/iPod setting (see
below)!
To disable Bluetooth, repeat the above procedure, this time
unchecking the Bluetooth box.
iPhone/iPad/iPod
Select this setting if you want to connect your EV3 Brick to Apple
iOS devices – iPhones, iPads, and iPods – using Bluetooth (make
sure Bluetooth is enabled on your iOS device). This setting must
also be enabled when connecting to the EV3 Programming App on
an iPad.
Note: Using this setting will prevent your EV3 Brick from connecting
to other non-iOS Bluetooth devices, including computers,
Chromebooks, Android devices, and other EV3 Bricks!
You cannot enable both standard Bluetooth and Bluetooth
communication for iOS devices at the same time.
To enable and disable Bluetooth communication for iOS devices,
use the Up and Down buttons to select ‘iPhone/iPad/iPod’ and then
press the Centre button for OK. A Bluetooth icon will be shown on
the top left of the EV3 Brick Display.
