Hello,
Thanks for that; I'll change the config file for this and for the
name can that be in the main.conf file? The same for the
discoverable; set the timeout to zero - there is no security needed
for this device at all. Can this all be done with the conf file?
On the connection; yes it connects. This is a HID device connecting
via L2CAP with the interrupt on 19 and the control on 17 and the
windows PC correctly connects to the device, queries the service
record, identifies it as a HID and connects on both the control and
interrupt psm ports but none of the dbus methods are being called. At
the moment I am using the pybluez library with the BluetoothSocket and
calling listen and accept which is a bit 'manual'. To detect a
disconnect I'm calling hcitool con and parsing the response - which is
again a bit manual. Please see below for my current 'hack':
---
#listen for incoming client connections
#ideally this would be handled by the Bluez 5 profile
#but that didn't seem to work
def listen(self):
print("Waiting for connections")
self.scontrol=BluetoothSocket(L2CAP)
self.sinterrupt=BluetoothSocket(L2CAP)
self.scontrol.bind((self.MY_ADDRESS,self.P_CTRL))
self.sinterrupt.bind((self.MY_ADDRESS,self.P_INTR ))
#Start listening on the server sockets
self.scontrol.listen(1) # Limit of 1 connection
self.sinterrupt.listen(1)
self.ccontrol,cinfo = self.scontrol.accept()
self.controlClientMac = cinfo[0]
self.controlClientPsm = cinfo[1]
print ('control is ' + self.controlClientMac + " " +
str(self.controlClientPsm))
self.cinterrupt, cinfo = self.sinterrupt.accept()
self.interruptClientMac = cinfo[0]
self.interruptClientPsm = cinfo[1]
print ('interrupt is ' + self.interruptClientMac + " " +
str(self.interruptClientPsm))
thread.start_new_thread(self.check_connection, ())
def check_connection(self):
halt = False
while not halt:
stdoutdata = subprocess.check_output(["hcitool", "con"])
if self.controlClientMac in stdoutdata.split():
time.sleep(0.1)
else:
print('got disconnection')
self.scontrol.shutdown(2);
self.sinterrupt.shutdown(2)
halt = True
thread.start_new_thread(self.listen, ())
Obviously this is a very clumsy way of doing it and calling back on
the profile is the correct way to do it, I just can't work out why the
profile is not being called. I'm trying to spy on the dbus comms to
see if anything is being sent but I can't see any bluez profile
messages being sent at all. Thanks for your response and any advice
is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Neil
