Ask your administrator if you think this is wrong. ====== Pair Bluetooth Controllers - manual setup ====== You need to establish a [[access_the_batocera_via_ssh|SSH connection]] or a terminal windows with keyboard to accomblish this further. You can connect your bluetooth controller manually by doing some commands step by step. Get started by typing ''bluetoothctl'' and hitting ''[Enter]''. Now you are in the Bluetooth control unit. Type following commands and confirm every single one with ''[Enter]'' agent on default-agent power on scan on Now set the controller in pairing mode! This strongly depends from your [[:supported_controllers|controller type]]. An example of the output you would see from running all the commands successfully: <code> [root@BATOCERA /userdata/system]# bluetoothctl Agent registered [bluetooth]# agent on Agent is already registered [bluetooth]# default-agent Default agent request successful [bluetooth]# power on Changing power on succeeded [bluetooth]# scan on Discovery started [CHG] Controller 43:45:C0:00:1F:AC Discovering: yes [NEW] Device E4:17:D8:C2:0B:0E 8BitDo M30 Modkit </code> <WRAP center round tip> If you're having trouble detecting devices, check out the [[:troubleshooting#bluetooth_issues_not_connecting_no_devices_detected_etc|Bluetooth section on the troubleshooting page]]. </WRAP> Now we want to connect to our controller. So we type following commands to connect to discovered controller with MAC address ''E4:17:D8:C2:0B:0E'' properly. Wait a few seconds after entering the commands in order to ensure they are processed successfully. pair E4:17:D8:C2:0B:0E connect E4:17:D8:C2:0B:0E trust E4:17:D8:C2:0B:0E This would be the output from our example: [bluetooth]# pair E4:17:D8:C2:0B:0E Attempting to pair with E4:17:D8:C2:0B:0E [CHG] Device E4:17:D8:C2:0B:0E Connected: yes [CHG] Device E4:17:D8:C2:0B:0E Modalias: usb:v2DC8p5101d0100 [CHG] Device E4:17:D8:C2:0B:0E UUIDs: 00001124-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb [CHG] Device E4:17:D8:C2:0B:0E UUIDs: 00001200-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb [CHG] Device E4:17:D8:C2:0B:0E ServicesResolved: yes [CHG] Device E4:17:D8:C2:0B:0E Paired: yes Pairing successful [bluetooth]# connect E4:17:D8:C2:0B:0E Attempting to connect to E4:17:D8:C2:0B:0E Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.Failed [CHG] Device E4:17:D8:C2:0B:0E Connected: yes Authorize service (yes/no): yes Authorize service 00001124-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb [8BitDo M30 Modkit]# trust E4:17:D8:C2:0B:0E [CHG] Device E4:17:D8:C2:0B:0E Trusted: yes Changing E4:17:D8:C2:0B:0E trust succeeded Type ''devices'' to see a list of devices configurated in your BT setup. \\ Type ''remove MAC-ADRESS'' to remove single devices \\ Type ''yes'' if you are asked for authorization progress or enter PIN If you have multiple Bluetooth adapters on your machine and you want to tell which one is used, you can use the command ''hcitool dev'' to list them all. On my setup, ''hci0'' is the internal BT on my Pi4, and ''hci1'' is an additional USB BT module: # hcitool dev Devices: hci1 90:80:62:00:88:00 hci0 DC:A6:32:04:10:7F # bluetoothctl Agent registered [bluetooth]# scan on Discovery started [CHG] Controller 90:80:62:00:88:00 Discovering: yes ===== Using batocera-bluetooth ===== <WRAP center round todo> Still needs further investigation/testing. </WRAP> <code> batocera-bluetooth list Print the list of currently trusted and saved Bluetooth devices. batocera-bluetooth trust Trust a new, randomly(?) selected device.
