Rebooting...

[5ghzx]

latest version of nimble, latest version of esp32 blegamepad by lemmingdev. esp32 wiimote works perfectly when i try it without this code.

[gopro2027]

Just realized this seems very related to the issue I just wrote up #876

[5ghzx]

oh ya, it is. maybe its something about max connections?

[Zanacks1]

mine wont even run, still in setup..
{
Serial.begin(115200);
Serial.println("Starting BLE work!");
bleGamepad.begin();
// The default bleGamepad.begin() above enables 16 buttons, all axes, one hat, and no simulation controls or special buttons
}

Something silly on my part? ESP32-WROOM-DA

Something in your code either has not initialized the NimBLE stack or has deinitialized it.
