and plugging it back in or flick the power switch and wait a few seconds, then
turn it back on. 3. Wait for the app to detect the controller, it will pop up
on the app screen as a Bluetooth controller. If necessary, cycle the power
once more to refresh the controller. 4. Once the controller shows up on the
app, click it and connect. You have 30 seconds to select the controller once
it shows up on the app. After 30 second you will need to refresh again to
detect the controller again. 5. Note that if you mounted your controller
behind a lot of metal components, this may degrade the signal and range.
