Connecting to Bluno from PC over bluetooth
mail 2016-02-01 23:37:54 5000 Views3 Replies Hi,
On the wiki it says that you need either another bluno or your BLE USB dongle to connect to the bluno from a PC. Is there really no way to talk to the bluno using the PC's built in Bluetooth module? Using Light Blue on OS X I can see the bluno, but it doesn't provide a console. What I really want to do is connect an Intel edison (which has built in bluetooth and runs linux) to the bluno. For space reasons I really don't want an extra bluetooth module.

Xia Rex 2016-02-22 15:35:54 Thanks. Would you be able to provide some more detail? I managed to connect the edison to the bluno and see what I send from the bluno using the gatttool utility, but I haven't been able to figure out how to establish true serial connection. All my attempts to use rfcomm failed. I guess I should try the bluez dbus interface, but without guidance this seems like a very lengthy trial and error undertaking... mail
