I have now down loaded the app and learned how to operate the android I will use with the E-controller, go t it connected to wi-fi and have searched for a blue tooth receiver. have a full calendar for rest of today and to-morrow so will try and get this going on Sunday in DC mode at least and see how it goes.
so more later.

I purchased a Bluetooth receiver by MPOW, I used the double male 3.5 mm connector to plug into the Dongle and then plugged that into the input 3.5 mm socket on the Rokuhan E-controller, for the tablet input, now pressed the button on the Dongle and once in discovery mode went to the Android and searched for the Blue Tooth signal, found it and paired it once paired, turned the volume up on the Android and we were up and running with blue tooth wireless connection. In my case it required a password the first time and I entered 0000. So this is the alternate data stream between Android and E-controller.
