OpenBCI Bluetooth Dongle Difficult to Find on Aliexpress & Ebay

Last Updated on October 4, 2022 by pg@petergamma.org

• Whe only found it on one shop on Aliexpress which offered it:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003456815964.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.15801802O6NOB1

• We ordered one, and the store sent us an OpenBCI WIFI shield. It is not worth for us to send it back, shipping costs are too high

• We found on ebay an OpenBCI Bluetooth version:

• The documentation of the store is generally high-quality

• It says about the Bluetooth version:

Bluetooth version, bluetooth chip RFD22301, this is programmable bluetooth module, mainboard and Dongle each with a piece.

• ask in the store, what this exactly means.

• If you already have a WIFI shield, we suggest to try to test and repair it, if it has issues.
