No Bluetooth – What to Do

The Hummingbird board will only work with a computer that has Bluetooth connectivity.

All Chromebooks that support Google Play have Bluetooth capability (all from 2019 onwards).
All Macs and Macbooks since 2014 have Bluetooth
Almost all Windows laptops have Bluetooth capability. Not all desktop computers do.

If you have a Windows computer without Bluetooth capability, a Bluetooth dongle will need to be purchased.

The TP-Link UB500 USB adapter for Windows computers gets good reviews. It is said to be plug and play for Windows 10 and 11. (We have NOT tested this item!)
