[BRLTTY] Raspberry Pi bluetooth pairing question

[Keith Wessel]

Thanks, Mario. Yes, I had read the readme, but I missed the fact that I
didn't need a connect command.

For whatever reason, brltty with bluetooth: wasn't auto-detecting my Focus
80. After pairing, I specified the full Bluetooth address to brltty, and it
worked! Autodetect would be nice, but it's certainly not a requirement.

Thanks very much,
Keith

As far as I understand, you shouldn't need to use connect.
Did you read Documents/README.Bluetooth?
