I recently acquired an Android tablet, and simultaneously added another helicopter to my fleet. My older heli has a Brain 2 BT, but my new one has just Brain 2(without BT, because it wasn't available).
When I downloaded Brain software to my tablet from the Google Play store today, it installs v3.4.220. I'm aware that the current version is v3.4.275
I connected my new Brain 2 via USB cable to the tablet, and launched Brain software. Instead of recognizing the Brain 2, it keeps asking me to identify which BT device to use. Again, this brand new Brain 2 does not have BT, so I appear to be stuck, because in order to advance, it will only launch in Demo mode.
I have been assuming that the Brain software on tablet can utilize the USB connection. Am I wrong about this?
In addition to the configuration software, which can be downloaded for free from the Downloads section of our website (it is available for Windows OS, for Mac OS using Windows emulators, or for Linux OS using Windows emulators), the Integrations—which are already active in all our flight controllers—are also available free of charge. Like the configuration software, the Integrations are provided and updated free of charge with no additional costs.
Using the Integrations, you can view and modify all parameters of our flight controllers via dedicated menus that our flight controllers display directly on the screens of all transmitters equipped with two-way telemetry: Spektrum, Jeti, Graupner, OpenTX, EdgeTX, ETHOS, ELRS, TBS.
If you haven’t already seen it, please visit our website:

And check out the related PDF documentation in the MANUALS section of our apps and in the Downloads section of our website.
In addition to the integrations, with transmitters that have a sufficient number of channels, it is also possible to adjust four flight parameters using slider or rotary potentiometers or side dials. Both on the ground and during flight.

Using the side dials or the radio’s slider or rotary potentiometers—to which free radio channels not used for other functions must be assigned—you can adjust any parameter of the flight controllers, and it will be possible to modify the parameter value while in flight to determine the optimal setup value for your model (Explanations in the PDF manual “Analogic Integration”)
For Android devices (smartphones and tablets), however, there is a different app that is optional (and therefore paid) and can be downloaded from the Google Play Store, but it is only for “Wireless” connections (no cable connection).
To use the Android app, you need one of the various Bluetooth dongles (e.g., Crius, HC-06, HC-05, etc.) available on the market (eBay, Amazon, AliExpress, etc. etc.) to connect to the SYS port on the side of the flight controllers.
Bluetooth dongles for Android apps are very easy to connect and use; here is one of many links where you can purchase them:

The cables with pre-crimped connectors suitable for connecting to our flight controllers are available in various lengths: MSH51625, MSH51607, and MSH51608, which you can find on our website:

We hope we have provided you with all the information you need.
Thank you for confirming that the Android app is only compatible with a blue tooth connection to the Brain 2. Thank you also for providing links to blue tooth dongles. I will acquire one for this second heli.
I do already have the PC configuration software, which I've used in the past to setup my first heli, and which I was planning to use to setup my second heli while I'm still building it. Currently, I do not have a Tx capable of the integration.
