Now what? Sender: bluez-users-admin@lists.sourceforge.net Errors-To: bluez-users-admin@lists.sourceforge.net List-Unsubscribe: , List-Id: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , List-Archive: Date: Sun, 3 Oct 2004 03:01:29 -0700 (PDT) OK, I've got the kernel stuff working to my USB dongle. It is a D-Link DBT-120, and up to that point it all is OK. Now I want to connect to a device. It is an Earthmate Blue Logger GPS (quite a nice little yellow box!). My assumption is that eventually I want the equivalent of a "serial" type connection that a program similar to "minicom" can talk to. I've entered a few commands, and I'm a little frustrated. How do I get something like this to work? Some commands that DO work are: [bluetooth]$ hcitool inq Inquiring ... 00:90:4B:2A:9D:9D clock offset: 0x219e class: 0x001f00 [bluetooth]$ hcitool scan Scanning ... 00:90:4B:2A:9D:9D Earthmate Blue Logger GPS Some that DON'T are: [bluetooth]$ rfcomm show rfcomm0 Get info failed: No such device [bluetooth]$ rfcomm bind rfcomm0 Can't create device: Operation not permitted I think I have the configuration file OK, but I'm not exactly sure. Do I need to have some configuration file setup? The documentation isn't very clear here (as I can see). Do I access this with RFCOMM?? How do I connect to the device with 'minicom'?? Do I need to setup some device files?? I have half working, but not a full connection. It is almost there, but not quite.
