Connect to PC Bluetooh, Why Not?


#1

Hi

First of all, thanks for the nice Product :+1:

I totally understand that I need the Bluetooth dongle to connect with the PC using bluetooth, The Question is why??? especially that it can connect to a tablet or phone.

Since Codey is programmable, can we change that?!

Hi, Abarakat,

The makeblock doogle connects automatically and without code.
Probably they can add the functionality for other generic Bluetooth but that would certainly make more support.

For my part, I would like the support of this controller: 8bitdo

Otherwise, another controller but I start to have a lot so I will not buy it : Makeblock Controler

Many schools still use PCs in their classrooms that’s why there’s a PC wireless solution.

Then it comes “why do we need a dongle instead using the internal Bluetooth of PCs?”
The reason is that for Windows computers only Windows 10 officially supports Bluetooth 4.0 API - that’s the only Bluetooth protocol supported by Codey Rocky’s chips. Phones and tablets do not have this problem.

Theoretically, we could make mBlock connect via Bluetooth in Windows 10 and later Macs; but a dongle is more stable and easy to use in classrooms, thanks to its pairing mechanism.
