Bluetooth connection problems

Libretro Lakka

Hi guys,

I’ trying to connect a bluetooth controller to my lakka system :video_game: . It’s called “Wireless Gaming Controller” and the Model is HD-060. I connected through ssh and tried a manual pairing with bluetoothctl because the normal pairing didn’t succeed…

first I put the controller to pairing mode and then started bluetoothctl:

[bluetooth]# agent on
Agent registered
[bluetooth]# default-agent
Default agent request successful
[bluetooth]# power on
Changing power on succeeded
[bluetooth]# discoverable on
Changing discoverable on succeeded
[bluetooth]# pairable on
Changing pairable on succeeded
[bluetooth]# scan on
Discovery started
[NEW] Device D0:27:96:F1:05:28 PC263 Controller

[CHG] Device D0:27:96:F1:05:28 Connected: yes
[CHG] Device D0:27:96:F1:05:28 Connected: no
[bluetooth]# connect D0:27:96:F1:05:28
Attempting to connect to D0:27:96:F1:05:28
Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.Failed

the controller seems to be paired and trusted, but if I try to connect the controller via pushing the ‘HOME’ button this strange ‘connect and immediately disconnect’ thing happens…

[CHG] Device D0:27:96:F1:05:28 Connected: yes
[CHG] Device D0:27:96:F1:05:28 Connected: no
[CHG] Device D0:27:96:F1:05:28 Connected: yes
[CHG] Device D0:27:96:F1:05:28 Connected: no

I’m a little bit lost at this point - tried to search the forums but haven’t found any solutions that fits…

Lakka’s bluetooth list shows “PC263 Controller” now.

I removed the device again

[bluetooth]# remove D0:27:96:F1:05:28

The “PC263 Controller” disappears in Lakka bluetooth list. So I executed the pairing again but no change gamepad still disconnecting immediately after connect.

It seems I’m outta luck so far… any suggestions how to further debug this? Or maybe a missing drivers for this particular controller?

Here’s the result from

[bluetooth]# show

that’s all I have to offer right now :neutral_face:
