3 Connect the board to your devices

iOS and Android devices can connect via Bluetooth. Mac OS also supports wireless connection.

Some Windows PCs may have unstable Bluetooth connections due to various Bluetooth chips. If you encounter connection issues, please use a USB cable for PC connection.

Why can't I connect the board to my phone?

Please ensure the following:

Enable GPS on your phone, as BLE connection relies on GPS.
Allow location permission for the app.
Do not pair the board in your phone's Bluetooth settings; instead, use the Chessnut app. Click the Bluetooth icon in the upper right corner of the app to search and connect.
Ensure the blue LED on the board is flashing. If not, short press the power button to enable it.

Chessnut will NEVER get or save your location data for any other use.
