OVERVIEW
Stage 2 – Connect To The Software
With your Bluetooth device successfully paired you can now move on and connect to the software.
STEP 1 Start the FlowArm PLTW 4 software
STEP 2 In the project user interface click the Bluetooth button so that it is illuminated. This
will make sure that the software uses the correct baud rate and adjusts
communications for the lower bandwidth.
STEP 3 The port selector is set to Automatic (AUTO) by default and will scan through the
available ports until it finds the one connected to the SSC-32. The Auto light will
flash when searching.
STEP 4 When the board has been found the Auto light will illuminate permanently and so
will the Found light. The selector will show the COM port that is being used.
Your robot is now connected and ready to be controlled and programmed by
FlowBotics Studio
If for some reason the software can't find the board then if you know which COM
port it's on you can choose this manually from the COM port selector.
Now that you know how to connect we will continue with our tour of the project user interface.
