Waiting for Switch to connect (using Raspberry Pi 3A+ & Switch OLED)

[grdleo]

The device will not connect, and gets stuck in "waiting for switch to connect..."

pi@raspberrypi:~/joycontrol $ sudo python3 run_controller_cli.py PRO_CONTROLLER
[18:46:02] joycontrol.device set_name::69 INFO - setting device name to Pro Controller...
[18:46:02] joycontrol.server create_hid_server::83 INFO - Advertising the Bluetooth SDP record...

[18:46:02] joycontrol.server create_hid_server::96 INFO - Waiting for Switch to connect... Please open the "Change Grip/Order" menu.

I have done all the fixes offered by the community and, so far, nothing is working. I am using a Raspberry Pi 3A+ and a Switch OLED (version 14.1.1), no idea if this changes anything... If anyone has a similar configuration and does not suceed, please let me know

I believe this is an issue with the Switch firmware. Try NXBT: https://github.com/Brikwerk/nxbt

I am on current switch FW but I am using a 3B and was having this issue. I did however get it to work by altering the suggested string for the bluetooth.service. Try this string and see if it corrects your issue.

ExecStart=/usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd -C --noplugin=input,sap,avrcp
