[orbit-user] Bluetooth problem: service not found

[Haris Kremo]

I think you should address these issues to the person(s) who provided
you with the device and the software.

Last I've heard about it the Orbit baseline images

http://www.orbit-lab.org/wiki/Documentation/SupportedImages

support generic Bluetooth devices, and we have number of them
installed on the large grid

If you want to use your own hardware it is up to you to communicate
with the vendor
and provide necessary software.

Right now, from your email it is not clear where you obtained Perl and
C code, or even whether your laptop runs Windows or Linux - it might
be as simple as that the driver for Linux does not exist.

If this is of any help (and a year ago I was at the same stage at
which you are now) here are steps to enable BT in kernel:

If you are guessing the device name then I'm pretty sure nobody on
this list will be able to help you.

Hope it helps,

H.
