delete the internal ACM0 port to enable Bluetooth.

OR

use an USB Bluetooth Dongle for Bluetooth, the cheapest will work even without drivers.

More to it than that it seems, systemd disabled, can´t find adaptor, whole can of worms. 
But usb is way forward probably, need the serial for pypilot anyway.

Hi, Paddy, did you manage to get VictronConnect to run on Raspberry? I can,t get it to work. When running from terminal it just says something like "./VictronConnect-x86_64-v5.91.AppImage: 1: Syntax error: ")" unexpected" .

Have restarted after trying both ways to run it, but still no application in menu?

I,m not on the boat right now, but can reach it via vpn, so would be perfect to use Victron Connect directly. Otherwise use my pc/phone when Im on my boat.

Hi Paddy.

Just Looked again on your Screenshots. To disable the ACM0 you have to disable Both: serial Port & serial console. The console only accessable If you enable the Port before. Disable Both and then the internal Bluetooth is free to use.

Did you get this working? As of Friday, you can now get the key in the Mac App and the iPhone app which makes that part much easier. I've added that info into the plugin and rebooted SK and OP but it doesn't get any data. My onboard BLE is working and I can make OpenPlotter visible to a phone for example. Should I be able to see Victron Smartshunt/Solar on the BLE manage devices and also connect this??

Fixed it. You don’t need to add the device in under the OD BLE settings, you just need to make sure you put ‘:’ in the MAC address. Ops!
