Hi. My team has been working on running code that connects GoPros to the Amiga via Bluetooth, and we have encountered a couple of issues.

1. When connecting a device for the first time since the brain has been rebooted, it asks in the bluetoothctl service for permission to pair in the terminal. We have trusted the devices and paired them to the brain before. Is there a way around this?
2. We have had issues connecting to multiple bluetooth devices asynchronously, as the service seems to completely reject it. The same code works fine on Windows and macOS. Is there something with the bluetooth of the Amiga specifically that only allows for one bluetooth connection/pairing process at once?

Hi Ben,

I never tested using the Bluetooth, so let me give it a try here. Do you mind sharing how you guys are doing it?

Hi,

We are using the GoPro open source API, which uses the Bleak to connect the cameras to the Amiga programmatically in Python.

Thank you for your help. I’m also on this team and thought I might be able to add a bit more too.

We are using scripts adapted from tutorials provided by OpenGoPro here: [Tutorials](https://gopro.github.io/OpenGoPro/tutorials/). With this, we’ve had to upgrade the provided BlueZ Bluetooth service from the default (5.53 I think) to BlueZ 5.84. This seems to help, but not fix the connection problem, and we still have the pairing issue.

Hope this helps a bit!

Hi Dale,

I was doing some digging here and learned that the bandwidth for image streaming via bluetooth should be very limited (the adapter uses bluetooth 4.2). Have you tired using the cameras connecting to the Brain via WIFI?
