Starter Kit Bluetooth doesn't do anything but beep


#1

I just assembled the starter kit, and when I turned it on, all it does is emit a loud tone, which I can only stop by turning off the buzzer switch.

The remote app on the phone or ipad doesn’t work. I tried uploading new firmware, but I can’t determine which firmware to use.

The help in the forums is barely understandable, there is no one place I have been able to find instructions to reset my board at all.

This is a common frustration people have. There’s posts on the forum where people have solved this issue.

@jackbrown do you recall the process for updating the BT firmware? Sounds like we need a summary post for all the people starting off on how to update their firmware. Any suggestions?

I disconnected the Bluetooth, trying to update with a USB cable, If I could just figure out a way to get it to move forward, turn, then move backward, I’d be able to figure out the rest.

Dude it work with USB?

Sorry guys, I’m traveling and won’t be able to troubleshoot for a couple of days at least. This post from our now-absent friend Michael Benes seems to have gotten to the bottom of the bluetooth issues though: http://forum.makeblock.cc/t/robot-starter-kit-bluetooth-firmware-update/811/13
