Set up with Bluetooth
By Dan Jenkins on 5 November 2026
BeginnerBluetooth setup needs a computer or Android phone with Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. It is a good option if your computer has no USB-C port.
- Power on the board and keep your computer or phone close to it.
- On dottieboards.com create an account if you need to, choose Connect new board and then Bluetooth.
- In the popup, choose the device named DB followed by your board's serial number.

- A form lists all the WiFi networks in the area. Select your network and enter its password.
- The board restarts. Power-cycle it (unplug it and plug it back in) once so it starts cleanly, then enter the code it displays where the website says Connect with a code.
Important: Your WiFi password is never sent to our servers. It goes directly to the board.
Bluetooth setup is not available on iPhone or iPad. Use the board's own WiFi instead.
