Bluetooth Connections: Pestolink to XRP editor transition

Coding
1

We are running a camp and have successfully connected to Pestolink and XRP code editor via bluetooth. When running matches, we have encountered a problem with disconnecting from Pestolink and trying to connect back to the XRP code editor. The only way we can get the code editor back up and running is to connect via USB. Just wondering if there is an easier way to disconnect Pestolink and connect back to the XRP code editor without having to use the USB.

We have tried using one computer for Pestolink and another for the XRP code editor and still have this issue. It’s like the board isn’t recognizing the disconnection from Pestolink.

Thanks for any help people can provide!

This probably has to do with the fact that the pestolink micropython code is still running. It would be best to program it so that a button on your gamepad terminates the pestolink program on the XRP. The USB connection is a lot more robust for stopping already running programs than the bluetooth connection. Also, the latest XRPCode does have gamepad support in it, which makes the switch back and forth easier, although we still suggest having a gamepad button end the program.
