Thanks for helping but I still can't get it to connect
All so I tried connecting it once and the board made a laude sound and then the board shut off
By loud sound, you mean like a loud pop? You probably wired the power backwards. Check the two fuses, but the board could be cooked. The v3 (and most electronics) do not like having power applied backwards.

No man I know my positives and negatives. The board was on for a wile and then when I tried to connect the board to my tablet it maid a sound almost like a servo went of and it lasted for about 3 seconds it actually happened twice.
Ok. Back to the Bluetooth. Oncw you are paired, you need to determine which comm ports windows assigned (watch h the tutorial). You don't need to tell Windows to connect again, you need to have ARC connect to the assigned comm port. You need to do it within 30-45 seconds of powering up the EZ-B, similar to how you had limited time to pair it. (we'll ignore the weird sound for now as long as the board powers up and Windows sees it).
