Unable to get both 2.0 base stations to track together

[Draffeurd]

I recieved my valve index controllers and 2.0 base stations yesterday and i have been trying to get them to work since than, unsuccessfully. I have my Pimax 5k+ sitting in my basement since i got it in March.

Whenever i open PiTools with the controllers powered off, one base station says it is working and the other one is undetected. When I turn the controllers on, the second base station starts flashing blue in PiTools and most often one of the controllers is working fine but the other one flashes blue as well. The only way I can get both controllers to work together is to have only one base station powered on.

The problem seems to come from both base stations being set on Channel 1 (according to steamVR) (although it could probably be something else). When I try to go to base station settings or bluetooth settings in SteamVR it just says “Bluetooth not available”. I tried to manually install the Vive lighthouse drivers from the SteamVR tool folder but it won’t help nor show in my Devices Manager’s bluetooth section.

I am pretty sure that my base stations are properly placed in my room as I screwed them to the walls about 6 inches below the ceiling, pointing at each other in 2 corners of my play space.

I am pretty much desperate now as I have been trying to fix this for about 10 hours now and nothing seems to work. Need help from you guys.

Thanks

Maybe just turn on one station, start steamVR and do manualy change the station channel.
Then turn on the other station.
Afterwards, the station should no longer use same channel.
You can do this in steamVR window (on desktop) by right click on station icon.

Right clicking the base station icon does nothing for me?? When I click the HMD icon I get the Knock knock and Display VR view options, but the Base station - nothing

hmm, strange. When colored (not gray), I can click right and have Identify, Bl uethooth settings and Basisstation settings.
Are at least one colored or not ? if not, no station is detected.
Check your link-box and the device-manage for the bluetooth device of the Vive.

I realized both stations were on channel 1. I Switched one to channel 2 and then everything was tracking normal except for that one lighthouse. It keeps flashing in SteamVR and Pitools saying it is not tracking any device. Problem still not solved tho. I can play my games but only 1 BS is working

maybe contact the support. Could be corrupt firmware update/setting issue, hardware dameg or likesomething.
In other thread I read, you can update the firmeware somehow manually by connecting the station via USB cable to PC.
