Bluetooth for mbot version 5.1.0 or app

[haiflosse]

Hi!
I have here a mBot Educational Robot Kit (STEM) and want to know if I can use with it the wlan connection with the mbot webversion or mbot version 5.1.0 and app for android.
I have tried with my 2,4g bluetooth but it doesn’t work.
Do I need an other bluetooth modul or adapter for the mbot?
kindly regards for any answer.

mBlock 5 doesn’t support 2.4G connection;
I am not sure what is “2.4g bluetooth”. May I have some pictures of tthe mbot and the modules you have?

Hi haiflosse,
Thanks for the pictures.

Your mBot is 2.4G version which doesn’t support Bluetooth connection. But you have to use mBlock 3.
You can go to this post to download mBot resources (FAQ17 tells how to use 2.4G).

To work with Bluetooth 4.0, you may need below Bluetooth module and Bluetooth dongle:

Hello everyone! Nice meeting you here. Thanks for your interest in our products and our forum. I know there are a lot of FAQs and manuals posted before and many of them are out dated. But to be honest, it is hard for me to check all and revised the old things. So I would like to include more information in one post so that you can find the information they need quicker. 1.Makeblock products FAQs This documentation is for Platform kits, including mBot, Ranger, Starter, Ultimat…

Hello haiflosse,
In short, connect mobile App mBlock, you need Bluetooth module.
For computer software mBlock 3: USB cable, or 2.4G +2.4g dongle, or Bluetooth module +Bluetooth dongle (showed before);
For computer software mBlock 5: USB cable, or 2.4G+2.4g dongle (supported in web version since 27th, Sep), or Bluetooth module +Bluetooth dongle.

For purchase, you may contact overseas@makeblock.com. Or tell me your region and I’ll check the local distributor.
Also you can check if you can purchase it from Amazon.
