Why doesn't Scratch see my bluetooth device on Windows even when I have Scratch Link running?

Sometimes there is a conflict between Scratch and the way Windows automatically connects to a Bluetooth device that your computer has connected to before.  To get around it, you have to manually tell your operating system to "forget" the device. 


To "forget" the device: 

  • Open settings by opening the Windows menu and choosing Settings (the Gear Icon).  

  • Choose "Devices."  

  • In the list of device "Other Devices" click on your device and then click "Remove Device." 

 

That should make the device discoverable by Scratch using Scratch Link.
