Just as an FYI, gismo98 is referring to the following section of that page below the specific items:

Keep bluetooth scanning
This should keep the Pi scanning for bluetooth devices in case the pair is lost.
sudo nano /etc/init.d/rc.local
add “sudo hciconfig hci0 up piscan” (without the quotes) above the line that says “exit 0”
ctrl x
y
enter
sudo reboot

This worked for my bluetooth connection so should hopefully get you going for now at least.

Thanks for the update, made the change to rc.local and that seems to resolve the issue on a warm reboot but it persists if I have to pull the power. Is there a config file that is run on boot where this command could be entered? Would ensure that the bluetooth starts up properly in every eventuality.

Thanks again for the info, it is workable in most cases now :)

Little bit of an update:

Turns out that if I rebind one of the controllers the second will then bind as normal, as if I was having to kickstart the process for sixaxis or similar.
