How to Set Up

⚙️ Setting Up the Founders Edition Shot Clock

Getting started with your Founders Edition module is quick and easy. Follow the steps below to power on the unit and prepare it for Bluetooth connection with the tinyLeague™ Hub app.

Founders Edition Shot Clock, ready to power on

🔋 Step 1 – Ensure the Battery is Charged

Each Founders Edition unit comes with a 10,000mAh rechargeable battery bank.

🔌 Charge the battery using a USB-C cable for best results.
💡 The provided banks have indicator LEDs to show charge level. Make sure the battery has at least 1–2 LEDs before proceeding, but 3-4 LEDs is recommended.

📡 Step 2 - Attach the antenna

Attach the included RF antenna to the back antenna port on your module. This is done simply by screwing the antenna onto the RF jack. This will significantly increase the connection range of your module.

🔌 Step 3 – Connect the Battery to the Clock

Using the included USB-A to USB-C cable:

Plug the USB-C connector into the USB C input on the compute module (if not already plugged in), visible from the back and side.
Plug the USB-A into the battery bank’s USB output port.

The compute module powers on automatically once it receives power.

🔵 Step 4 – Look for the Blue Spinning Dot

Once the module powers on:

The seven-segment display will briefly flash.
Then it will begin showing a blue spinning dot animation.

This means the unit is advertising itself via Bluetooth and is ready to pair with the app.

📱 Step 5 – Connect via the tinyLeague™ Hub App

Open the tinyLeague™ Hub app on your Android device.

Go to Settings → Available Devices
Look for your module in the Bluetooth list
Tap to connect

Once connected, the display will stop spinning and respond to timer controls.
