Each dartboard talks to its own app
Your dartboard came with an app. To play online, your friends may use GranBoard, others VDarts, others DARTSLIVE Home. Manufacturers use different Bluetooth protocols.
NODEDARTS sends hits to the selected app for supported combinations. Automatic Cricket lighting depends on the app and board; other apps use manual control.
No changes to your dartboard or app. No soldering or opening the dartboard. Unplug NODEDARTS to return to the original connection.
Three steps to play
USB 5 V power. The Bluetooth bridge needs no internet; your app needs it for online play.
Plug it in
Use a USB 5 V power supply. The display shows the selected app.
Choose the app
The button cycles through app profiles. The last selection is saved for the next start.
Connect and play
Open the app and select the NODEDARTS Bluetooth device. It connects to your physical board and forwards hits.

What to know
Check these points before ordering.
Does not replace your tablet
The app still runs on your phone or tablet. NODEDARTS bridges it to the dartboard.
Cricket: lighting depends on the app
Automatic control is published for VDarts. Other compatible apps use manual control with a long button press. Also confirm lighting support for your dartboard.
Unverified apps and features
DR-Darts, Adarts and Nexus are not offered as verified compatible apps. 200S, Smartness profiles and test features require specific confirmation.
Does not repair your board
Bounce-outs and hits missed by the dartboard remain unchanged. NODEDARTS translates detected hits.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to install anything on my phone?
Use the compatible official app from its app store. NODEDARTS appears over Bluetooth with the name expected by that app.
Does it need WiFi or internet?
The bridge works over Bluetooth. Your app needs internet for online play. WiFi is also used for OTA updates.
Can I still use my dartboard normally?
Yes. The board and app are unchanged. Unplug NODEDARTS to return to a direct connection.
Are doubles, triples and bull transmitted?
Hits are translated according to the board protocol. Awards and the player-change button depend on supported functions; confirm your equipment.
What if a new app or board appears?
Protocols can be added through WiFi OTA or USB updates. S3 updates are free; a feature under test is not automatically available.
Can I use different dartboards?
The adapter supports multiple models. Check each board and app before changing your setup.
