I have got an apex I have managed to bluetooth it to my iPhone but in no way shape or form can I connect it to my pc. When I asked Humanware they said just use the usb lead which is one of the shortest in the world and it goes nowhere near either the computer or the apex.

I recently had need to try connecting my Braille Edge to my iPad Mini 2 and received the message, Braille Edge not supported. Can this really be the case?

Hi Pele

I have followed your steps below before, but can't get my PC to recognise
it. As I have already said, it isn't major because I tend to use pens or SD
cards for copying stuff across. Sometimes it is more hassle than it is
worth to complain. It is incredible how many times I hear: "I've never seen
this issue before," or "We haven't had others say this is happening." I
just don't buy that, but what do I know? (smile.)

Kind Regards,

Hi Jackie

As you know I have just bought a Braille Sense U2 QWERTY. One of the first
things I did was connect it to the PC, and it worked fine.

To do this:

1. Turn Mass Storage On in the Global Options Menu

2. Plug the cable into the small USB port on the Braille Sense (not the big
one).

3. I then got messages about drivers being installed, and then it connected.

Actually the first time I tried I had not turned Mass Storage on so it
connected using (is it called) PC Mobile? But I did not bother with that.

I have not connected this one as a terminal yet, although my previous
Braille Sense QWERTY worked perfectly once I had installed the Window-Eyes
drivers.
