In this page you find instructions to connect your computer to the MOD using bluetooth.
Please note that the MOD unit does not include a bluetooth chip inside, you have to plug a bluetooth usb dongle on MOD for this to work.
Note: Bluetooth version 3 or higher is required.
Display options
The controller has a menu option dedicated to bluetooth.
Enable discovery will turn on discovery mode on for 2 minutes.
The MOD starts with discovery turned off by default.
Status:... shows the current bluetooth status.
The following different status are available:
- Unavailable - no bluetooth stick is plugged in the MOD
- Unsupported - the bluetooth version of the stick in use is too old (needs >= bluetooth 3)
- Starting... - bluetooth service is starting
- Disconnected - bluetooth active, no devices connected and not discoverable
- Discoverable - bluetooth active, discoverable (and perhaps with devices connected)
- Connected - bluetooth active, at least 1 device connected but not discoverable
Name:... shows the bluetooth device name for your specific MOD.
Usually includes batch and serial number as suffix for uniqueness.
You can customize this name by creating a file named '/data/bluetooth/name' inside the MOD. Its contents define the name.
Address:... shows the MAC address of the current bluetooth stick in the MOD.
