Connecting --ble crashed the python
Hi, I get the following error when connecting via BLE to any of my nodes. Tried with name or address of the device .

It looks like you're not properly paired with the meshtastic node to me. Did you get asked to input a PIN at any point? I'm not very familiar with the Windows BLE stuff, so I'm not sure how exactly it's expected to work.

The same with linux... when not paired. It was discussed in Meshtastic # python channel in discord yesterday. I'll look at this in a few hours. Some exception handling maybe?
Probable because its not paired. But how does one get paired?
I literally do scan
meshtastic --ble-scan Found: name='BIST_d46d' address='F9:D9:14:60:D4:6D' BLE scan finished
And then connect. Never get prompted to pair.

Meshtastic python-cli doesn't do it yet... but the may be a prompt that shows elsewhere regarding the pin. not sure for windows... but in linux shell it's bluetoothctl .. depending on how things are set up there may be a notification or popup in a gui or nothing.
...
No, nothing pops up elsewhere on a windows machine Just looking at the code, there is something about client.pair in bleinterface.py. The exception seems to be related to "NotImplementederror" only. I haven't looked properly. I am looking at something else ( figuring out how to sent traceroute within python)
I will check later.
def connect(self, address):
"Connect to a device by address"
device = self.find_device(address)
client = BLEClient(device.address)
client.connect()
try:
client.pair()
except NotImplementedError:
# Some bluetooth backends do not require explicit pairing.
# See Bleak docs for details on this.
pass
return client

Hi Could you, please send me link to that Discord channel. I seems don't have it.? Thanks
