[Wylug-help] Bluetooth

[Simon Wood]

Hi Gary,
On Debian you need to set up '/etc/bluetooth/pin' with the 'pin' used for the pairing. And then bind the rfcom to your phone, ie. '/etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf' should contain something like.

<quote>
rfcomm0 {
      bind yes;
      device 00:DE:AD:BE:EF:00;
      channel   1;
      comment "Blower";
}
<end-qoute>

You might be missing the /dev entry
slone:/home/simon# ls -al /dev/rfcomm0
crw-rw----    1 root     dialout  216,   0 Mar 10 15:47 /dev/rfcomm0

Hope this gets you going...
Simon.
