Hi All
I have a bluetooth gps unit and would like to know how do I get about
connecting the unit to my linux machine.
I can get the usb bluetooth working with
bfusb and hci_usb drivers with others like l2cap, bluez etc
I can hcitool scan the bluetooth unit.
what do I need to make a connection to the unit.
regards
Joseph

rfcomm -h shows the following:
rfcomm bind <dev> <bdaddr> <channel>
<dev> is rfcommX where X is 0,1,2... probably 0
<bdaddr> is the output of your device determined by hcitool scan. In my
case is:
root@tr1a:~# hcitool scan
Scanning ...
00:02:C7:15:7A:2F BTGPS 157A2F
<channel> is 0-13 depending on your location
So the command for me would be
rfcomm bind 0 00:02:C7:15:7A:2F 1
My /etc/bluetooth rfcomm.conf looks thus:
rfcomm0 {
# Automatically bind the device at startup
bind yes;
# Bluetooth address of the device
#device 11:22:33:44:55:66;
device 00:02:C7:15:7A:2F;
# RFCOMM channel for the connection
channel 1;
# Description of the connection
comment "Example Bluetooth device";
}
So if you type 'rfcomm bind 0' your device should be connected. Then say
perhaps you have gpsdrive. Click the 'Start GPSD' button and you should
be connected.
Good luck.
Ciao,
Gene
