      Hello all. Im having trouble registering my pro controller. My pi 3 is not picking up anything when i select bluetooth.
      I did all the updates and checked bluetooth status on terminal and all says active and running.
      Not sure what im doing wrong. Yes i click the sync button in the back of the controller still nothing.
      Only driver i have enabled is xboxdrv package.
      When i first chose bluetooth, it started installing a bunch of stuff and asked me to pick a few options twice. I didnt know what to pick and i dont see these options appear anymore. Could that have something to do with it?
      Thanks all

        Maybe try it with only the "Xpad" driver instead of "xboxdrv".

          Just tried installing xpad. Says could not install packahes dkms raspberry-kernel-headers.

          Couple of other things to note. When i run register bluetooth, it doesnt pick up ANYTHING. Phone, controllers, speakers nothing. Is that normal?

          Also whrn rebooting i see a new line of text that says (failed) Failed to start Configure bluetooth modems......

            You might need to do the "Update all installed packages" in the RetroPie Setup Script first. Also let it update the OS packages at the first of the updates.

              I was able to install the xpad. Still not picking up any devices.
              When rebooting i get a red error that says falied to configure bluetooth modems connected by UART. Any idea what thats about?

                You might try reinstall Bluetooth (I think this is how you reinstall it):
                sudo apt-get install --reinstall pi-bluetooth
                Then reboot and it should give you a new UART config

                  Hi. Thanks i did that also. Read it on another forum but still the same problem. Wont pick up ANY bluetooth devices. Not just the lro controller. Maybe a hardware issue. Im jist gonna get a wireless adapter to plug in via usb.
                  Really wanted to utilize the on board bluetooth but no biggie. Not worth the hours i already spent researching the subject. Thanks for all your help. Great forum
