Serial Bluetooth Adaptor
 

I have just got a bluetooth serial adaptor (AIRcable Serial3). Can I get the Nokia to connect to this, and talk to it on /dev/tt?

Do you man bluetooth usb dongle ?
Mayby you need modem terminal software like minicom or the like.
Unfortunately there is no modem terminal compiled to N770 yet, I am aware of.

It's a device that plugs into a serial port, and allows bluetooth devices to connect to it as if you had a hardwired serial connection.

I'm wondering if I can get the Nokia to connect to it, and give me a virtual serial connector for use with Minicom (or my own apps).

I was working on this same thing about 2 week ago getting minicom/whatever to talk to an iogear bluetooth serial adapter over a tty??, although I got sidetracked with a "real project" at work and had to put this off. From what I remember searching at the the time I thought the "Bluez" bluetooth protocol stack was needed and I though there was an armel/deb package for it somewhere for the Nokia. Hopefully this is enough to at least get you started and hopefully further than I got at the time. If I have a chance today I will try to search and test little bit more and see what I can accomplish.

OK, thanks. I was hoping it was going to be simple. I'll do some research.

What is the appeal of this? If you need terminal access, why not just use ssh?

Embedded devices, with seriel ports. Engine management units for example.

Maybe you can find some information here:

They use a serial-bluetooth adapter to connect to the obdII interface.

It is simple, just setup rfcomm port, pair devices and it works. It is same like connecting GPS or some BT keyboards. You may look at btkbd script inside kbdd http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/#kbdd how to setup such port on 770 side.

So it does! Well almost, but it was what I was looking for.

Thanks.

Just out of curiosity what type of engines are you using this on? The company that I work at has a bunch of Semi's with Cummins and Sterling Deisel engines. We use different OEM handhelds to look at the engine statistics. We were thinking about using a Linux Handheld to monitor, set and troubleshoot the engines.

I will try to work on this again this weekend and I will let you know what I find.

Well I'm actually developing it for a tracker device at the moment, based on a Siemens TC65. But later, I may use it for Megasquirt. See my BMW E30 Megasquirt guide here: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/BMW_E30...ECU_Convertion
