Troubleshooting

Sometimes Windows 10 will not automatically allocate a COM port for Bluetooth devices. You can fix this by following these instructions:

  • Open Windows main settings by opening the "Start" menu and clicking on the "Settings" icon or by typing "Settings" and opening the "Settings" app.
  • Select "Devices" from the main menu presented.

  • Under "Related Settings", which you can find either on the right-side or by scrolling down, click on "Devices and printers".

  • Find "SSSMCK" under the "Unspecified" section. Right-click it and select "Properties".

  • A new window will pop-up. Select the tab titled "Services". Then make sure the box is checked that says "Serial port (SPP)".

  • Select "OK". The SSSMCK will now be able to communicate normally! After you complete this task, you can find the COM port # by returning to the "Services" tab of the "Properties" window. You can see in this screenshot that the SSSMCK is bound to COM port 4 (COM4):
