So I’m trying to use the new BLE feature, but seem to have some trouble. I’m using my iPad to connected to a HM-10 on an ardnuino Mega. I can see the HM-10 from my computer and send data no problem, but I cant get the app to scan or connect to the HM-10? When I set up to scan function the nothing happens not even an error. ---

Hi @jw01563daqgz, Great you’re trying our new function - BLE! So, by using `Scan` function to connect with the device, first you need to turn on your Bluetooth on you phone from your device setting, then when you’re scanning in your app, I also suggest you can just use the `Label` component to show the status of connection (like this). ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/5/b/5bca2c7afc13b2dc5693d6f8905607bfeac827af.png) It can help you to identify the problem and confirm whether it’s connected. Hope this helps. ---
