Beetle BLE to Raspberry Pi Connection

Hello,

I am trying to connect the Beetle BLE to a Raspberry Pi Zero W. The Zero W is capable of Bluetooth and will link to the Beetle, however no information can be sent/received to/from the Beetle. Is there a way to make them work together?

Thank you!

2018-02-23 02:11:30 Excuse my ignorance, but is the pairing pin number the same as the 6 digit Bluetooth passcode? I think the Beetle BLE firmware leverages the TI BLE stack software, based on this comment in the GIT repo:

Code: Select all

https://github.com/DFRobot/BLE_firmware_V1.9
Recompile BLE firmware with official protocol stack:BLE-CC254x-1.4.0

I downloaded the TI development SW from their web site, and saw these two default passcodes in some of the BLE C-based applications they have prepared for customers of their devices:

Code: Select all

http://www.ti.com/tool/ble-stack?DCMP=wbu-blestack&HQS=blestack
#define DEFAULT_PASSCODE 0
#define DEFAULT_PASSCODE 19655
