BLUNO BLE-LINK gamepad HID device not working in RetroPIE

cytan299

Hi guys,
I made a BLUNO keyboard device from the DFRobot Wireless Gamepad as an HID![alt text](image url) that works on my Mac. However, on the PI, although it is recognized as an HID device, nothing happens when I make keypresses.

Attached is a photo of the Bluetooth connection that shows a successful connection of my BLUNO device on the PI.

Is there something else that I need to do to get the PI to recognize it as a keyboard? Sorry to repeat myself, but the BLUNO device works as a keyboard on my Mac.

Thanks for any help!

@cytan299 Have you tied contacting the vendor and asking for Linux support ? Maybe you need a driver installed to be fully functional ?

yes, I've posted to DFRobot Bluno Bee forum. Hopefully, there'll be a reply soon.

There's a suspicion on the Raspberry PI forum that BLE devices are not supported in Raspbian. Interesting ...

Anyway, if anyone has a BLE device or gamepad working in RetroPI, that'll help a lot!
