Solved Bluetooth controller won't automatically reconnect after restarting the Pi

[r4ndom4is]

Is there a way to make the 8Bitdo SF30 bluetooth controllers to automatically reconnect after a restart?

Currently I have to turn them off and back on again to reconnect.

Apologies if this has already been discussed before but I could not find a similar topic/answer.

Recalbox 18.04.20
latest SF30_Firmware_V4.10

@r4ndom4is it's supposed ti reconnect uf you start your controller after ES has started launching

[r4ndom4is]

So here's my scenario @substring

1. I've got the controllers nicely connected
2. I then restart Recalbox from the ES menu
3. Controllers obviously lose connection while Recalbox restarts and boots up to ES
4. Controllers stay blinking, won't automatically reconnect
5. I need to turn the controllers off and back on for them to connect again

Is this how bluetooth peripherals generally work with Recalbox or could I modify something somewhere to get the controllers to automatically reconnect? Would the recalbox-support.sh output help to troubleshoot?

@r4ndom4is that.s the way they work, that's the way BT stabdards define connectiins between client (your pad) and host (the pi)

@substring thank you again for the quick reply.
