Yet another bluetooth thread

I replaced it with a BT 4 dongle and it connected easily to the last generation of intel iPad Pro without issue, but it was deadly slow in terms of being able to load effects and adjust things.

That is expected - at least that it’s slower than USB

I’ve managed to get my hands on the recommended bluetooth dongle for the ModDwarf. MY device recognizes it, and allows me to turn on discorverability – HOWEVER, it seems like the signal isn’t actually being broadcast at all. The bluetooth device “Mod Dwarf” isn’t listed on my Mac, iOS devices, my Windows PC nor my PopOS/Ubuntu PC.

Is the trick then to just to use 4.0? I have tried 5.1, 5.0 and yet to tri 4.1 or 4.0.

On MacOs things are broken on the Apple side since the latest update.
On others, it should work. What is the IP that you are trying to reach? 192.168.50.1?

gotcha – I’m unable to even try for an IP address yet, as I haven’t been able to complete a successful Bluetooth handshake (as in, select “Mod Dwarf” from discoverable Bluetooth devices list, on Windows, Linux (or iOS and Macbook, which is currently broken as you’ve just metioned)

I should mention that I’ve only just found out about this:
https://wiki.moddevices.com/wiki/WiFi

Which seems awesome – and preferred for me tbh.

Will try this and report back.

Do you mean that when you try to pair the devices the connection doesn’t hold on?
I’m asking because just yesterday we were investigating this. Basically the behaviour is/was that you flick the switch on the host device for the connection to happen, it seems that happens, but after 1 or 2 seconds it switches back. Is this what is happening with you?

Regarding the wi-fi, please note that that is still an experimental feature.

Sounds similar to my problem that I’d fixed by /usr/bin/hciconfig hci0 sspmode 1

Sitting here poking the Web ui on my android tablet screen with no lag, I just wanted to say thanks for this solution :+1: the router works great straight out of the box and gives the modx a reprieve from the reverb walk of shame due to it having been such a pain in the a** to edit (I hate dragging the laptop out just to make a quick edit). This one gets a huge recommendation from me! :beers:

STILL NO LUCK. I’m really starting to hate this thing.

What Bluetooth dongle are you using @robjac?
As far as I know, the 1.13 OS that just got into the release candidate stage will bring some improvements to the supported Bluetooth dongles.
If we know which one are you using we can try to check if it’s covered and/or replicate your issue. That will help to solve it.

Updating all devices now! ; but I have the one listed in the wiki recommendations. I also have an EVGA 5.1 lying around.

Web UI was intermittently failing to connect over USB for me too. just would timeout continuously. of course everything works better when using at my home studio. LOL

The 1.13 was not yet released for all units. It’s still in a release candidate which means that users can manually install it, but bugs can still be found and need to be fixed for the official release.

Heya!
Dropping by this thread to check.
I ordered a 5.1 Bluetooth dongle before I saw this

I’m not sure if I should wait for the improved firmware update OR just buy this dongle: Amazon.nl

Any suggestions/feedback?

Thanks!

My suggestion is to try it when it arrives by running the latest MOD OS version on your MOD and then letting us know if it works.
As far as I know, the drivers that have been added in the MOD OS releases, sometimes cover multiple dongles (because they use the same or identical chips).

#36

Forgot to add that I’ve tried and it doesn’t work

#37

Can you tell us the dongle that you got?
That can help us search and dropping the drivers eventually in a next MOD OS release

Here’s a link but could you please let me know if the dongle in my previous message works?
I’d rather start using Bluetooth instead if hoping and waiting for an update that might include this driver

Hi @Boi_Social,
I just ordered this one :

It looks like the same generic CSR bluetooth 4.0 dongle you’re about to buy. They say it should work on Linux in the description. I don’t think MOD can answer your question if this exact dongle hasn’t been tested by the community. But if you’re OK to wait a few days, I can tell you if mine works. Hopefully, they have the same chip.
