I am having trouble connecting to my mobile phone using the cirago bluetooth adapter with my raspberry pi running adafruit's occidentalis v2. Show me teh codez.
But in all seriousness, here are some commands showing what I have tried for configuring rpi + bluetooth adapter.
pi@raspberrypi /etc/X11 $ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:9512 Standard Microsystems Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:ec00 Standard Microsystems Corp.
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 05e3:0608 Genesys Logic, Inc. USB-2.0 4-Port HUB
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0bda:817b Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)
As you can see, my device appears to be installed correctly. Next,

So it seems to have a reasonable configuration going on, but to be honest I'm not entirely clear what several of those mean and the hciconfig man page is fairly cryptic for someone who is kind of new to bluetooth.
Continuing on, when I make my phone visisble to all devices I can then run
pi@raspberrypi /etc/X11 $ sudo hcitool scan
Scanning ...
D4:87:D8:F7:43:48 SGH-I777
However, this is where things start to breakdown, I then attempt to connect
pi@raspberrypi /etc/X11 $ sudo hcitool cc --role=s d4:87:d8:f7:43:48
pi@raspberrypi /etc/X11 $ sudo hcitool con
Connections:
I also read in a few places that the use of bluetooth-agent and a pin might help so I tried that, but it didn't seem to help. Also interesting is that my phone kind of believes it is paired, it shows in the paired devices list... but the bluetooth icon on my phone never turns blue indicating a connection.
At one point I did get to here which I thought was promising
pi@raspberrypi /etc/X11 $ sudo bluetooth-agent 4790
Confirmation request of 207543 for device /org/bluez/2299/hci0/dev_D4_87_D8_F7_43_48
but it still did not turn my bluetooth icon blue on my phone nor show up as a connection when I checked hcitool for connections.
Finally, it might be useful information to mention that when I right click on bluetooth manager and click adapters, there is nothing listed. However, do not focus on this please because I want to learn how to do this using all the command line tools so I understand everything. I only included the information about the gui tool in case it helps anybody figure out what is wrong.
Obviously, any help is greatly appreciated. Even if you cannot solve my problem, please provide any further explanation or information you have about the above commands and functionality as I am pretty new to bluetooth. Perhaps if you can provide a better understanding of what these tutorials having been making me try, I will be able to figure it out.
Thanks again.
