Setting up Bluetooth on the Raspberry Pi
Setting up a bluetooth dongle can be quite interesting when using Raspmbc. Here is a guide on setting up.
Requirements:
- Raspberry pi
- Bluetooth dongle
- Wifi or ethernet connected
Steps:
I found the following guide very helpful, however kept running into errors.
To fix it, run the following command after rebooting and before in place of installing bluetooth:
apt-get install obex-data-server
apt-get install bluetooth bluez-utils blueman bluez-compat
If you have tried in the past to install bluetooth, but its still broken, run the below command:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
Unfortunately, there where problems pairing the device with the error message being:
Creating device failed: org.bluez.Error.AuthenticationRejected: Authentication RejectedSo following another article, it is recommended to type in:
sudo nano /usr/bin/bluez-simple-agent
Now, in this file, change "KeyboardDisplay" with "DisplayYesNo".
Note:
Some bluetooth items will not work on Raspmbc such as audio. It has been suggested (Raspberry pi official forums) to instead use OpenELEC or Xbian.
