Bluno Nano Pairing Problem

I am hoping to get some help with the Bluno Nano pairing problem I am experiencing. Here is an overview of the situation:

- I have a Bluno Nano v1.3, connected to Arduino 1.8.2 through USB.
- The Bluno Nano has the latest copy of the firmware - v1.9 - which I got from https://github.com/DFRobot/BLE_firmware_V1.9
- I can upload the Bluno Basic Demo script (https://www.dfrobot.com/wiki/index.php/Bluno_SKU:DFR0267#Bluno_Basic_Demo) successfully, and have uploaded other scripts to the device and gotten feedback from the Bluno Nano device that they work on the device.

This leads me to believe that the device itself is behaving as I would expect a typical Arduino device to behave. The problem is that I am unable to (and have never been able to) successfully pair the device using the Bluno Basic Demo script on any of my devices. I have tried pairing the device to an Android 6.0 phone, but the Bluno Nano only appears for a couple seconds as a pairing option when first powered on, and if selected, pairing fails.

I have tried exploring the various AT Commands (https://www.dfrobot.com/wiki/index.php/Bluno_SKU:DFR0267#AT_Command_List) - such as resetting the device to default (AT+SETTING=DEFAULT) or directly binding it to the phone's Bluetooth - to see if I can make the device behave differently, but I have had no success in pairing it at all.

Any suggestions or directions on how to resolve my pairing issue would be appreciated, as I have tried everything I can figure to try with no success.

I have a short video visually demonstrating the problem in-app available at https://ibb.dfrobot/ktSqD5


Thanks for any help.

2017-04-29 08:02:48 Thank-you for your response Wendy. I am confused:

I *am* using the BlunoBasicDemo app on my phone to try and connect to the device (not the settings panel), I have tried on multiple Android 6+ phones, and still the Bluno Nano does not appear as an 'available' BLE device for more than a couple seconds after being first powered on. If I try and connect to it with the BlunoBasicDemo app, it fails to connect and nothing happens - I am never able to send or receive data from the BLE device.

Any suggestions or thoughts? I have tried the solutions in questions #1 and #2 of the FAQ.


Thank-you for your support.
- Andrew.

Sorry for your troubles. So far, our ble series products only support our own ble and our app, not support other brand ble. So its hard to connect your other devices to our app. In addition, the pair led is just for HID mode, if you want to build connection between two ble devices, only need the link led. And we only can search our bluno via the app on your phone, not the setting panel. More detailed info you can refer to our bluno FAQ: https://www.dfrobot.com/wiki/index.php/Bluno_SKU:DFR0267#FAQ
