[SLUG] Re: Setting up Bluetooth

2009-06-30 Thread konrad Zielinski
The obex stuff is what I'm looking for however the problem I seem to
have now is getting my phone and my laptop paired. when I try the obex
things I get a prompt on my phone asking for a pass code. And I can't
seem to find any way of setting this code so that pairing can take
place.

 On the laptop at I can see other devices but I can't establish a
 connection with them.

 At a minimum I would like to be able to browse the file system on the
 phone. Getting the remote s60 Python shell going would be good too.
 The relevant tools only have instructions for doing this under
 windows, in a round about way by mapping a comm port to bluetooth and
 then using pyserial for the interface.  I've noticed that there are
 python bindings for bluetooth so I suspect this can be done more
 directly. But getting a connection going is still the first step.

 On balance I'd much rather get this going at the commandline tool then
 with some gui app. (so far all my attemtps have used hcitool).
