Sorry for you feeling, since things change day by day, so the video was not get updated. When I have time I will remake it. Now we dont need bluetoothctl any more. Did you try to reboot raspberry after install ?
I find this project somewhat amazing – there are at least three sets of instructions, all different:
The name of the project has also been changed, fortunately Github works around that. After entering
tmux a
, I find there are only three panes, so there's nothing to use to runbluetoothctl
. It's possible that there's another session that I haven't worked out how to connect to.So after splitting one of the panes to get a
bluetoothctl
session, I can get all the parts working. However, both android devices I have tested can see theThanhLe_Keyboard_Mouse
device, and to manage to get paired with it, but they won't connect. Thebluetoothctl
output shows them connect and then immediately disconnect. I have no idea why and no idea how to find out.I only investigated using a Raspberry Pi 3 as a bluetooth keyboard because I've got one, and a spare keyboard and a user raised the idea of keyboard shortcuts for my android Editor app. I found that most of the implementations online can't possibly work because the BlueZ project made fundamental changes to the API that, AFAICS, make certain that any previous projects won't work.
I found that it does work with a Windows desktop
So, having wasted about a day attempting to get this to work on android, I have given up.
