Hello,
I am trying to connect my 8bitdo NES30 Pro bluetooth controller to retropie 3.6.
I have a Raspberry Pi 3, so I would like to use the built in bluetooth.
I followed the wiki to connect the controller.
It is paired, but it doesn’t connect automatically when restarting the raspberry.
Nevertheless I edited the udev rule as it is indicated.
Any idea?Hi there,
I tried on an clean retropie image, and still the same issue.
NES30 Pro controller paired an connected successful, but I can’t get it connected automatically after reboot.Can I make a cron task or something to attempt connecting my controller everytime if not already connected?
That would be even better than connecting it at boot. I think.Thanks for the links rion, I tried with “hciconfig hci0 up piscan” but it didn’t work.
I managed to connect my controller at boot running this code from rc.local file:
bluetoothctl << EOF power on connect MACADRESS exit EOF
Maybe I will try to configure a cron task to run this script to keep trying to connect after boot.
I configured a keyboard to test bluetoothctl and it reconnects at boot. See for instance this topic. Summary:
- bluetootlctl
- agent on
- devices
- pair 11:22:33:AA:BB:CC
- Enter PIN
- trust 11:22:33:AA:BB:CC
- connect 11:22:33:AA:BB:CC
I’ve done this when using RetroPie 3.6
