meshtastic --ble stuck after "Connected to radio"

[dirkbeer]

Hi - Really appreciate the BLE support!

I'm having a problem where meshtastic --ble stops after connecting to the radio and nothing further happens:

root@cottonmouth:~# . meshtastic/bin/activate
(meshtastic) root@cottonmouth:~# bluetoothctl devices
Device F7:BE:57:1F:90:05 dto_9005
(meshtastic) root@cottonmouth:~# meshtastic --ble-scan
Found: name='dto_9005' address='F7:BE:57:1F:90:05'
BLE scan finished
(meshtastic) root@cottonmouth:~# meshtastic --ble dto_9005
Connected to radio

Once I Ctrl-C out of that, meshtastic --ble-scan can no longer see the device, even though it is still present:

^CException ignored in: <module 'threading' from '/usr/lib/python3.11/threading.py'>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.11/threading.py", line 1583, in _shutdown
    lock.acquire()
KeyboardInterrupt:
(meshtastic) root@cottonmouth:~# meshtastic --ble-scan
BLE scan finished
(meshtastic) root@cottonmouth:~# bluetoothctl devices
Device F7:BE:57:1F:90:05 dto_9005

Running it with debug on, it looks like it is communicating successfully in the background: https://pastebin.com/M7XHP0K6

Can you help? Here's my info:

Looks like I was just using it wrong, didn't realize that the --ble dto_9005 has to be included with every command. For example,

meshtastic --ble dto_9005 --nodes

works just fine.
