Bluetooth pairing with a linux desktop - any success?

[leo876]

Hello all,

I'm using a ESP32 WROVER which pairs without issue via Bluetooth to a serial port app running on an Android phone. Pairing with a Linux desktop (using blueman-manager) has been unsuccessful.

Has anyone got a good working solution?

Thanks

Use other Linux tools to verify the problem.

I succeeded, finally.

What's your setup?

Not Arduino I hope, can't help you there.

Just to follow-up on this..

I was trying Bluetooth legacy which seems to be the issue, lots online about similar issues. BT LE should work OK.
