[PSMOVE WARNING] Failed to connect

[Caleb Vatral]

Hi, I recently started trying to use the API and have been working on Linux Mint so far. I managed to get it built and the controller configured and connected. I can see the "Motion Controller" device in Bluetooth settings and when I run "jstest /dev/input/js0", I can see the values changing when moving the controller or pressing buttons. 

However, when I try to run the example_new_api in both Python and C++, I get the message,

"[PSMOVE WARNING] Failed to connect to controller #0". Is there something I am missing the configuration/setup?

Well go figure that as soon as I post this, I figured it out. Turns out I needed to run as root (e.g., sudo) to make the connection. Also fixed the problem of not running as root by copying 99-psmove.rules as stated in the documentation.
