If SenseCom fails to recognize your gloves with Bluetooth Low Energy firmware, it may be because the Legacy Connections option is enabled. In that case SenseCom is only able to discover gloves with a Bluetooth Serial firmware. Enabling this option should allow SenseCom to discover and connect to your glove.
