Questions related to Bluetooth connection on Mobile devices

I.

What Apps do you have for Starter?

For mobile devices, there is Makeblock App that supports Starter. It requires Android 4.3+ and
iPhone 4S/iPad 3 +, iOS 9+.

II. How to connect Starter to Makeblock App?

As Makeblock App connects to Starter via Bluetooth, we have to use Bluetooth version Starter. Or
buy a separate Me Bluetooth Module for IR version Starter.

Download and installed latest Makeblock App and refer to below steps to connect Starter:

1. Connect the Me Bluetooth module to Port 5 on Orion board.

2. Power on the Starter and there is a blue LED keeping slow flashing on the Me Bluetooth
module.

3. Open the Makeblock APP on mobile device and move the mobile device close to the Bluetooth
module, normally the Starter Bluetooth will connect automatically.

Note:

if you use iOS mobile device, you need open Bluetooth function on mobile device first.

3. If the Bluetooth can’t be connected automatically, please go to Search icon on the upper right
corner, check if you can find the starter Bluetooth in the detected list. If there is, please connect to
it from the list.
