Obviously, it still isn't working, but I feel at least they're trying to talk to each other. Surely that's a good start. Anton, Rodrigo, (and anyone else whose Petrel is connecting on Linux) what does hciconfig show for you? As enabling 'auth' made some difference, I'm wondering if there's something else that's important.

All of these uses the build in bluetooth dongle, hci0 by default. Pass a -i hci1 to use your second blueooth dongle, eg: rfcomm -i hci1 connect /dev/rfcomm0 aa:bb:cc:... I like to use the connect keyword, because for me it might take 10-15 seconds sometime to connect a rfcomm channel. If you would have just use bind and then open on the dev, it might behave badly and time out. This might be your case. //Anton -- Anton Lundin+46702-161604 ___ subsurface mailing list subsurface@subsurface-divelog.org http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface

I'm not familiar with rfcomm or Bluetooth on Linux. > Please excuse my ignorance, but what is the correct command? Hi, I managed to get stable connections using the rfcomm "connect" command. Here is the script I use to connect the Petrel to my computer just before using downloading data on Subsurface: # cat /usr/local/sbin/petrel_download #!/bin/bash read -p "Abra o Subsurface, abra o log de mergulho onde ficaram guardados os mergulhos a serem baixados. Abra a opção Registros >> Transferir do computador de mergulho. Verifique que a porta indicada na janela de transferência é /dev/rfcomm0. Ligue o Petrel e ponha ele no modo 'Upload log'. Tecle [Enter] quando estiver pronto." hciconfig hci0 up # Antigo Petrel com porta externa (vendido para o Cristofer) #rfcomm connect /dev/rfcomm0 00:13:43:04:F2:F1 # Novo Petrel controlador do O2Ptima rfcomm connect /dev/rfcomm0 00:13:43:08:96:48 # Novo Petrel sem porta externa #rfcomm connect /dev/rfcomm0 00:13:43:07:90:CD echo "Se não houve nenhum erro, só falta ir no Subsurface e mandar baixar os mergulhos." -- Unfortunately the comments are in portuguese but Google Translate is your friend... I have several "rfcomm connet" lines because I have/had more than one Petrel. Leave only one of them uncommented.
