Cyton Node SDK intermittent connection issues / GUI fixes it

We are developing an application using the Cyton Node SDK, and are running into intermittent problems with finding and connecting to the board / bluetooth module via the Node SDK. Our software attempts to connect several times, then fails. However, if we open the OpenBCI_GUI software and connect to the board, then close the GUI and open our Node app, everything connects properly.
Is there something that the OpenBCI_GUI software is initializing that the Node SDK would not be? How can I troubleshoot this?

JT, hi.
Are you using these repos?
https://openbci.com/community/nodejs-ecosystem-overhaul-cyton-stable-and-ganglion-in-beta/
https://github.com/openbci-archive/OpenBCI_NodeJS_Cyton
As you can see from the URL, 'openbci-archive', this repo has been archived because the author AJ Keller left OpenBCI a number of years ago. I do know of another Node implementation, not sure if it is related. You might try:
