My PASCO Wireless Sensor or AirLink Won't Connect via Bluetooth
I cannot connect my Wireless Sensor to PASCO software.
Please select the system/operating system you are using for specific Wireless Sensor troubleshooting instructions.
General PASCO Wireless Troubleshooting (all platforms)
- Make sure your computer/tablet/phone has Bluetooth 4.0 capability and Bluetooth is turned on
- Check that your PASCO software is a current version: Capstone 2.6.1 or higher, SPARKvue 4.9.0 or higher
- Make sure that you are not attempting to connect through a separate interface. Wireless sensors do NOT require a 550, 850, airlink, or sparklink air interface. Unplug and disconnect any interfaces.
- Wireless Sensor Hard Reset: Hold down the power (on/off) button for ~10 seconds. Release button. Lights will flash. Turn sensor back on. Try to pair sensor to PASCO software again.
- Connect Wireless Sensor to PASCO software (via USB if available on sensor) to check for a firmware update. Update your sensor.
