Joycons Not Being Found

[levi-wj]

When I run the sample scene in Unity, I get a Debug.Log that says "No Joy-Cons found", even though I've already paired the JoyCon to my computer using BlueTooth. Am I missing a step? Do I need to use an external tool to connect to the JoyCon, like BetterJoy?

I am using a 2020 version of Unity if that could be the source of the problem. I know this project was originally made with an older version.

I noticed that if I had unity open when I made the bluetooth connection, the controllers would say "paired", and I'd get the "No Joy-Cons found" error. I fixed it by closing unity, connecting the controllers so that they say "connected" instead of "paired", and then reopening unity. Hopefully this helps someone
