Connect dongle

2. Radio dongle

Now connect the Radio dongle (USB module) to a free USB port on your computer. Hardwario Playground should automatically recognize the device and display it in the Devices list. If the dongle does not appear, make sure it is inserted correctly.

3. Flashing the firmware

This step is optional and recommended only if you are unsure who last used your Radio Dongle and how it was configured.

In the left menu, find the Firmware link, where you need to search for hardwario/twr-gateway-radio-dongle and press the “Flash firmware” button. This step ensures that the dongle has the latest firmware version, which may resolve potential connection issues.

4. Connect the Radio dongle

In the right-hand menu under the Devices section, click the Connect button to connect the Dongle. Unfortunately, at this moment no additional effects or connection indicators will be displayed.
