Hey!

Trying to control a wireless headset (Beats Studio 3) I've tried a simple example written in the doc of ArduinoBLE's library. ([ArduinoBLE - bleDevice.connect() - Arduino Reference](https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/libraries/arduinoble/bledevice.connect/))

Even tho it detects the headset, can print its Mac Adress and all that, the peripheral.connect() keeps returning false.

Any idea of what I'm doing wrong?

Here's my entire code :

```cpp
#include <ArduinoBLE.h>

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  while (!Serial);
  if (!BLE.begin()) {
    Serial.println("Error while trying to initialise BLE module");
    while (1);
  }
  Serial.println("Scanning for BLE devices...");
  
  BLE.scan();
}

void loop() {
  BLEDevice peripheral = BLE.available();
  if (peripheral) {
    if (peripheral.address().equalsIgnoreCase("94:F6:D6:F3:03:4A")) { // Just to connect to the desired headset and nothing else.
      Serial.println("Trying to connect to Beats Studio 3:");
      BLE.stopScan();
      if (peripheral.connect()) {
          Serial.println("Connected to device!");
      } else {
          Serial.println("Oops!");
          BLE.scan();
      }
    }
  }
}

```

Thanks in advance!
