It's apparently possible to customize the HC-06 firmware so it behaves as a HID device, so these might not be strictly serial. Thanks, and he may have done just that because he uploaded another video yesterday entitled “testing Bluetooth HID gamepad” but I can’t find it now... So what can I do to a...

That's a tough one. A game controller hacked together by a Russian guy, with a how-to video in a language I don't understand. I've never heard of 'Adriano', and a Google search only returns references to a Brazilian footballer. He appears to be using a microprocessor which could be an Arduino tho I...

So, I'm a little confused. You say you have a Bluetooth game pad, but the you say it's an HC-06. An HC-06 is a serial communications module, nothing like a game pad or HID. You would also need some software on the Pi monitoring the virtual serial port and creating key press or joystick events. You ...

Since the requirements specify both a Raspberry Pi and Bluetooth, I'll limit my response to those technologies. A serial Bluetooth connection using the Pi's onboard Bluetooth or a USB dongle is rather simple to implement. You'll need to configure the Serial Port Profile, and run rfcomm. Search this...

That explains it, but is very unfortunate. I suppose I just have to hope I catch his attention.

Hey everyone I am trying to get hold of a particular user that I feel, based on my research to my problem on this board and others, could potentially hold a key to a solution. Think of David Banner in the old Incredible Hulk TV series, except it's Raspberry Pi related and it's causing me to red inst...

@Douglas6, where art thou?

Anyone? Please!

Hey guys Had a problem for weeks and I am no further forward. I've been seeking help here, Reddit, RetroPie forums, Facebook, and Twitter - and nobody seems to be able to help. It's extremely frustrating. In a nutshell - the issue I am having is I can't pair a Bluetooth gamepad controller to my Rasp...

Hi guys I asked this question last week. I've been seeking help here, Reddit, RetroPie forums, Facebook, and Twitter - and nobody seems to be able to help. It's extremely frustrating. I won't go into the background on the first post - but the issue I am having is I can't pair a Bluetooth gamepad con...

I hate to be they noob who bumps, but I’m desperate here. I’ve considered updating my Bluez from 5.43 to 5.50. Should I do this? I’ve tried pairing manually through bluetoothctl but get the same error. I have been able to successfully connect it using an rfcomm command but this still doesn’t allow u...

Hey guys I hope you can help. I’ve already started a thread over on the RetroPie forums for this issue - but since posting that I think I’m asking the wrong question. For reference, that thread is here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/21069/bluetooth-controller-entering-pairing-pin Basically, I ...
