bluetooth connection issues

thread for documenting issues connecting to Cato via bluetooth

From Ken Ebbs using mac:
"Had connection troubles so I thought the battery was low. I charged the Cato last night and just tried to connect to my Mac but it’s not discoverable, so I had Deborah reset it. After resetting I see three blue followed by three yellow flashes then no lights after that. I tried this twice with the same result and still could not discover the Cato.

I then tried to mount it to my mac and I saw some activity on the LEDs and now 3 yellow LED flashes over and over. (The green charging light is on continuously.) Still not bluetooth discoverable or mounted on my file system.

I then reset it one more time and then it appeared on my filesystem as expected. Bluetooth is also working again."

This is very strange behavior, and one I don't believe we've encountered before.
In our last meeting with Ken, we put his device in practice mode so he could experiment with the gestures before determining what bindings would be the most useful for him. Is it possible that Practice mode doesn't release control often enough for a consistent bluetooth connection?
However the failure of Cato's filesystem to appear when plugged in may indicate more issues w hardware, though this would not explain the miraculous reanimation after the 3rd reset.
