These boards support Bluetooth Low Energy **and/or** what's now known as Bluetooth _Classic_.
19+
20+
The capabilities of each board are dependent on its communications module, and available libraries. Check [Arduino Docs](https://docs.arduino.cc/) for more information.

title: "Change the Bluetooth® broadcast name"
3+
---
4+
5+
When using the [ArduinoBLE](https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/libraries/arduinoble/) library to enable Bluetooth Low Energy communication on an Arduino board, the broadcasted name is set by the [setLocalName()](https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/libraries/arduinoble/setlocalname/) function.
6+
7+
For example, you can set the name to _MyArduinoDevice_.<
8+
9+
```
10+
BLE.setLocalName("MyArduinoDevice");
11+
```
12+
13+
If using an example, first check if `BLE.setLocalName()` is already called somewhere. In this case, just replace the existing name. Otherwise, make sure to add the line after the device has been initialized with `BLE.begin()`, but before it's advertised with `BLE.advertise();`.

The Arduino Edge Control is a great choice to control sensors in outdoor scenarios with no mains power available. The Nordic nRF52840 microcontroller features built-in Bluetooth support, but on its own the board doesn't support additional wireless connectivity.

For this reason, the Edge control comes with a dual MKR socket that enables connecting two [Arduino MKR boards](https://store.arduino.cc/arduino/mkr-family) as "networking co-processors". This allows extending the network capabilities with LoRa, GSM, NB-IoT and Wi-Fi.

55
If the Arduino software takes a long time to start up and appears to freeze when you try to open the Tools menu, there is a conflict with another device on your system.
66
The Arduino software, on startup and when you open the Tools menu, tries to get a list of all the COM ports on your computer; it is possible that a COM port created by one of the devices on your computer slows down this process.

In order to avoid or minimize these conflicts, take a look in the Device Manager and try disabling the devices that provide COM ports one by one (e.g. Bluetooth devices) and recheck the Arduino software.
