Make sure you already followed this tutorial https://github.com/RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3/blob/master/doc/termux_notes.md#setup and have Termux with an running Proxmark3 client ready. You need additional the `cp210x` serial usb driver enabled and working, like the `USB_ACM` driver to communicate wireless. 2. Insert the Bluetooth adapter with an fitting USB-C/Micro-USB converter into your Android USB port and a serial port `/dev/ttyUSB0` will be created. To see if it's working, run `tsudo ls /dev/ttyU*` and it should list `/dev/ttyUSB0`. 3. The adapter will search automatically and establish the connection to BlueShark. The adapter will remember the device that was first connected and after that the same device will be connected. After the connection is established, the blue state LED on add-on will turn on solid. 4. If you see this, congratulations, you can run your Proxmark3 client in Termux with `tsudo proxmark3/client/proxmark3 /dev/ttyUSB0` ## 6.

The USB and UART interfaces of RDV4.0 can coexist without conflict, and no special switching is required. The following link has helpful notes on UART usage and baud rates: https://github.com/RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3/blob/master/doc/uart_notes.md ### 6.2 Disassembly +^[Top](#top) + There is a heat conductive double-sided tape inside the add-on, which has strong adhesive force. Therefore, if add-on needs to be removed, it needs to be pulled out from the heat sink end with greater efforts. Each disassembly will reduce the viscidity of double-sided tape. When double-sided tape is well protected, it will not affect the second use. Thermal conductivity will be slightly worse and will therefore have a direct impact on the thermal performance of the heat sink. ### 6.3 Battery charging +^[Top](#top) + The battery charging circuit is turned on by default. Any time a USB cable is inserted, the battery will be automatically charged. The red LED will remain bright when charging. The red LED will be extinguished when charging is completed. ### 6.4 Get better signals +^[Top](#top) + For the better heat dissipation, we have used a cast metal enclosure for the add-on. As a result Bluetooth wireless signals are sacrificed. For example, if the back of add-on is facing the Bluetooth host, the signal is very bad and the distance will be reduced. The best signal strength can be obtained when the front glass faces the Bluetooth host. If the Proxmark3 is not responding, it may be due to a poor Bluetooth connection. To improve performance, try repositioning the Proxmark3 so the glass face is directed toward the host.
