<![CDATA[ImportError: cannot import name Bluetooth **SOLVED**]]>I am trying to run some of the Bluetooth examples given in the documentation but am getting the error message: ImportError: cannot import name Bluetooth. I have updated to the latest WiPy 2.0 firmware and can run other code including a web server example, so I am reasonably confident the WiPy is working. I have also tried importing the Bluetooth class using the REPL but get the same result:

>>> from network import Bluetooth                                                                                       
Traceback (most recent call last):                                                                                      
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>                                                                                   
ImportError: cannot import name Bluetooth   

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Could you please go to the REPL and run:

import os
os.uname()

I know you have already updated, but this will just double check that the firmware is on the latest version!

This likely explains the Bluetooth issues!

Could you try to update the firmware again please? :)

You're looking to see release='1.6.3.b1',

Thanks!

However, the firmware update program welcome screen say "This wizard will help you upgrade your Pycom board firmware to version 0.9.7.b1." so am I using an old version of this program?

Thanks for your help.
