Bluetooth not working with Windows 10 and not working with Android
Posted: Sat Oct 30, 2021 8:00 am
I'm trying to use ESP32 to send receive/send data (RFCOMM) through bluetooth to Windows 10, I've already tried with both classic and BLE bluetooth, but despite what I do, Windows 10 won't recognize ESP32 as a Bluetooth device.
This is what I see when I go to the bluetooth and other devices settings in Windows 10:
If I try to add a bluetooth device, it won't detect anything, even if I press the reset button in ESP32. All I can see from ESP32 is that "Silicon Labs CP201x USB to UART Bridge (COM 7)" COM 7 port is working. I also noticed that COM1 port isn't working, it just displays in Arduino IDE, but it won't connect.
I can see that port COM 7 is working because I'm able to upload the code to the ESP32, but then when I test the bluetooth from the Serial Monitor, the Android device won't pair at all, this is all I get from the Serial Monitor:
All I need to do is to connect a bluetooth controller to Windows 10 through ESP32, that's all. That shouldn't be that hard, right?
This is the board I'm using:

I've also installed the drivers CH34x_Install_Windows_v3_4 and CP210x_Universal_Windows_Driver, also tried CH341SER, CP210x_Windows_Drivers_with_Serial_Enumeration and CP210x_Windows_Drivers, still the same results.ets Jun 8 2016 00:22:57
