Issues discovering the Ganglion on El Capitan: "init timeout error"

precociousmouse

Hi all

I am having some issues discovering the Ganglion board over ble on a mac running El Capitan. I know that ble is supported on the laptop, but when I run the gui the board doesn't appear in the list.

I have tried restarting, and resetting the Ganglion but no luck - has anyone else had similar issues?

**UPDATE** I have tried an alternative method using the processing specific gui, which allows me to select the bluetooth port, but when I hit 'start system it tries to connect to the Ganglion but then throws an init timeout error.'

cheers!

Are you still having issues connecting with the Ganglion?

If so, can you try a different computer or update your OS? There may be issues with BLE and El Capitan.

Hi there, yes still having problems - to be honest other projects took priority so am back to looking at this.

If I run something like lightblue on the macbook I can see the ganglion board, but the processing master demo won't connect with the same init timeout error. I then tried the bundled csr 4 dongle and set it as the default radio through hardware io tools but it still won't connect.

I have just got hold of an odroid xu4 which can see the ganglion board with hci lescan in terminal but as I am having issues installing processing on it I may just have to roll my own interface somehow.
