Hi good afternoon @ValentinLeglise Can you and your customers please keep these tickets one issue per TB4? As you know we have a larger team looking at these and its difficult to support multiple TB4 and multiple issues in one thread. Its not easy to read and organize information.
We can address the first Bluetooth issue you have listed in your PDF, please open separate tickets for the other issues:
Issue Description:
We have observed that both controllers function properly when connected to other devices such as laptops, iPads, and phones, but we are experiencing significant issues when attempting to connect to the robot. The maximum connection we have been able to achieve is controlling the options on the display of the robot, and even that is a very rare occurrence. We have attempted multiple troubleshooting steps, but the issue persists. Resolution: Investigate the Bluetooth connectivity issue with the robots and provide a solution to establish a stable connection. For Controller 1:
The images above show our initial attempts to connectivity issues with Turtlebot4. We followed the instructions provided by support:
- disable hciuart sudo systemctl disable hciuart sudo reboot
- restart hciuart sudo systemctl restart hciuart
- connect gamepad sudo bluetoothctl connect MAC_ADDRESS
Despite these efforts, we continue to face challenges in establishing a successful connection, as it consistently fails. We are currently troubleshooting and exploring further solutions to address this issue professionally and efficiently.
Hi @ValentinLeglise Can the customer please try this solution here Let us know if it helps,?
Ensure the Bluetooth controller is charged with another Mini USB cable and phone charger - I believe the supplied mini USB cable that comes with the controller can be used to pair the controller with whatever hardware it is connected to. Let us know, Rusty
Hello, Rusty.
Thank you for your reply. Okay for the other problems, I'll open new tickets.
For this one, my customer has already tried the instructions you sent me, but with his second controller. Here's the answer:
Nevertheless, I asked him to carry out these instructions with the first controller, and to give me the result.
Do you have any other instructions to provide to solve this Bluetooth problem? Best regards.
Hello ClearPath,
Is it possible to have a response for this ?
Thank you.
Hi @ValentinLeglise The customer did not follow the instructions in the linked ticket: they did not download the file.
To run this script:
Extract the below attached file p4ppair.zip and run the following set of commands:
File: p4pair.zip
Run the following commands:
sudo apt install expect
chmod 755 p4pair
./p4pair <MAC of P4 Wireless Controller>
Ensure that the controller is in pairing mode when the script is run. Let me know how this recommendation works for you. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Expected behaviour
Hello, my customer is having numerous problems with his TB4. All the details of what he wants to do and what he's tried are in the “Actual Behavior” section.
Actual behaviour
My customer has drawn up a document summarizing all these tests and the problems he is encountering. Here it is: Turtlebot4 Issue Report_2024-04-04_KM.pdf
To add further detail to what he did, he tried reflashing the RPi many times but it didn't solve these problems. He also tried to reset the battery by taking it out and putting it back in after a while, but without success.
If necessary, you can also retrieve the logs from the Create3 database: Log_Create_2024-04-04.pdf
We looked for solutions but all the ones found on your user guide or on other git tickets didn't work. Thanks for your help.
