I build the bluetooth samples using online compiler but i unable to pair the microbit

I've search and managed to tweak my MicroBitConfig.h to disable dfu and event services and set the MICROBIT_SD_GATT_TABLE_SIZE to 0x600.

// Enable/Disable BLE Service: MicroBitDFU
// This allows over the air programming during normal operation.
// Set '1' to enable.
#ifndef MICROBIT_BLE_DFU_SERVICE
//#define MICROBIT_BLE_DFU_SERVICE                1
#define MICROBIT_BLE_DFU_SERVICE                0
#endif

// Enable/Disable BLE Service: MicroBitEventService
// This allows routing of events from the micro:bit message bus over BLE.
// Set '1' to enable.
#ifndef MICROBIT_BLE_EVENT_SERVICE
//#define MICROBIT_BLE_EVENT_SERVICE              1
#define MICROBIT_BLE_EVENT_SERVICE              0
#endif


// The amount of memory allocated to Soft Device to hold its BLE GATT table.
// For standard S110 builds, this should be word aligned and in the range 0x300 - 0x700.
// Any unused memory will be automatically reclaimed as HEAP memory if both MICROBIT_HEAP_REUSE_SD and MICROBIT_HEAP_ALLOCATOR are enabled.
#ifndef MICROBIT_SD_GATT_TABLE_SIZE
//#define MICROBIT_SD_GATT_TABLE_SIZE             0x300
#define MICROBIT_SD_GATT_TABLE_SIZE             0x600
#endif

I successfully compile and update my MicrBit device.

Able to go into pairing mode and generation of random passkey. After, entering the correct passkey, the phone report that i have entered a wrong passkey. On the other hand, the MiroBit device displays a tick mark.

Please help!@!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Alex,

It looks like since the microbit did display a tick mark, that it has successfully paired, is that not the case? Are you able to successfully connect to the microbit afterwards? You can take a look at this guide for troubleshooting pairing for the microbit if that is not the case:

https://support.microbit.org/support/solutions/articles/19000069393-bluetooth-troubleshooting-guide

Hope this helps!
