Mouse not detected.
- @cghague
I am using a Bluetooth device that converts a wired USB keyboard and mouse into a Bluetooth-enabled combo. This allows me to plug in a USB receiver for a keyboard and mouse combo into the Bluetooth device, making it accessible via Bluetooth.
I am trying to use this setup to make my TinyPilot device Bluetooth-enabled so that I can connect my laptop to the TinyPilot via this Bluetooth device and use my laptop's keyboard and trackpad wirelessly. However, during testing with the TinyPilot, the bluetooth device detects only the keyboard, but not the mouse. Additionally, when attempting to use the mouse through TinyPilot, its movement is erratic, while the keyboard works perfectly.
I suspect this issue might be a bug in TinyPilot's configuration, particularly in the init-usb-gadget script. For reference, I tested the Bluetooth device with a USB combo receiver, and it successfully detected both the keyboard and mouse simultaneously.

Hi Ather, thanks for your question about using TinyPilot with your Bluetooth device.
The configuration you've described isn't one we've seen before, so we'll need to investigate this issue. Can you please provide the adapter's make and model as a starting point? Can you please also send me a link to your debug logs (while the adapter is connected) by going to System, then Logs, then Get Shareable URL?

I am using Bluetooth Adapter for Keyboard and Mouse (BT-600) from Handheld Scientific.
Here is the logs data WITH the device connected : https://logs.tinypilotkvm.com/ciST8suL
Here is the logs data WITHOUT the device connected: https://logs.tinypilotkvm.com/CfPoky6QP.S I am using the TinyPilot Power Connector.

Thanks for sharing those details; that's a fascinating device!
I've reviewed your logs, and there is no obvious explanation for this issue. However, I did note that the adapter's features page has some caveats about which keyboard, mouse, and hub combinations the adapter supports. I also noted that the manual hints that the adapter uses relative mouse mode.
Therefore, I suspect the issue is that the adapter might be incompatible with either absolute positioning mode or the type of composite USB device that TinyPilot presents. I appreciate this isn't the answer you were hoping for, so it might be worth checking with the adapter's manufacturer to see if they have any suggestions. Please let me know if you have any questions.
