Speed Editor can not connect to bluetooth

PostPosted: Sat Apr 24, 2021 3:34 pm

I just received the Speed Editor with Studio bundle this week. The device works with USB but I can not get it to function with Bluetooth on two different Windows 10 computers. Have searched this forum and read many posts trying so many things.

1. Windows 10 with latest updates.
2. Purchased a Bluetooth 5.0 dongle, installed appropriate drivers and made no difference.
3. Firmware Version 1.1, Build 49b7e6df
4. Plug into USB and can see in the Panels Setup. Unplug USB, it disappears from the devices. Try to search for it on the Bluetooth add devices and it never shows up while the key light is still on.
5. Using BluetoothView freeware application that shows other BT devices attempting to connect, no attempt from the Speed Editor.
6. I did submit an email request to support.

Any help is appreciated.
Jim

I had a similar problem.
The first one I bought, didn't pick up the Speed Editor

So I bought a new one, and all works as expected now.

This is the one that works for me.
Avantree DG40S USB Bluetooth Adapter for PC

Hope that helps

This fixed it. I plugged it into my best USB charger for a couple hours. Thought it was charged as the USB connection would show 99% charged on the Control panel when plugged in.

I first saw life from the Speed Editor when checking Bluetooth devices on my iPhone 7. It appeared and then I was able to see it in Windows 10.

Thank you

Update 05/08/2021
I had made several videos and put the Speed Editor back in the box for a week. Tried to edit another video and no connection. Plugged it in and monitored the iPhone Bluetooth screen. About 5 minutes in I see the device. Go into Windows Bluetooth settings and added the DaVinci Keyboard (I did remove it trying to troubleshoot). The battery displayed 1% and is now incrementing up.

What I am thinking is the initial USB connection showing 99% in Resolve caused some confusion on my part.
