How to Pair and Set the TWS Bluetooth Audio Receiver Board
TWS Bluetooth Audio Receiver Board is a TWS enabled Bluetooth 4.2 audio receiver board. People can also use two of this board to build a wireless stereo speaker system. This tutorial will teach you how to pair them and set the module output.
Pair Two Receiver Boards
Hardware and Software required:
- Bluetooth Audio Receiver Board(TWS/Apt-X) x2
- 5VDC power supply x2
- Audio amplifier system x2
- If you pair 2 amplifier boards. User must remove the slave board Aux in Enable jumper before pairing 2 boards
- S1 - Long press 3s into pairing mode. Long press 6s clear the pairing info.
- S1+S2 - Long press 1s into TWS slave mode.
- S1+S3 - Long press 1s into TWS master mode.
- S2+S3 - Long press 1s disconnect TWS connection.
Step1:
Select one of the board as the master, the other one as the slave. Connect the master to your amplifier, and then power it.
