Getting Started With Wireless Sensors: Chromebooks
1. Upgrade your Chromebooks to Bluetooth BLE
Give your Chromebooks the power to connect to our Bluetooth® Smart devices wirelessly.
Because Chromebooks do not natively have Bluetooth Smart (BLE) connectivity, this simple USB adapter installs the drivers necessary to connect your Chromebooks to our Wireless Sensors and to connect the AirLink wirelessly if desired. Note: Please ensure that your operating system has been updated to the latest version of the Chrome OS.

2. Download the App
SPARKvue: PASCO’s award-winning data collection and analysis app. Download for free.
SPARKvue combines rich standards-based content, data collection, visualization, analysis, and assessment into one seamless environment. The new expanded framework allows students to perform sensor data analysis at school or home.
3. Select your wireless sensors
Visit our wireless sensor page to see our growing range of sensors.
PASCO’s Wireless Sensors communicate directly with your chromebooks in real time or can log measurements remotely for long-term recordings bypassing the need for an interface or datalogger. In addition to the wireless sensors, you may want to also consider the new Wireless Smart Cart as well as the Wireless Spectrometer.
4. Enable all PASport sensors to communicate wirelessly with the Airlink
The very affordable PASCO Airlink greatly expands the measurement opportunities for the Chromebook. The Airlink seamlessly connects to each of the 80 plus PASport sensors to provide wireless communication. Multiple Airlinks and wireless sensors can be used simultaneously during a single recording session.
