1st time poster here. I'm in the process of migrating squeezebox server, bundle of my perl scripts etc. from a CentOS server which died over to a smaller power ReadyNAS Dou(v1) and that's going pretty much fine.
I have 1 last tool which I run on a regular basis storing Solar PV stats to a MYSQL database and also uploads o http://pvoutput.org The tool is called 'sma bluetooth' details here: http://code.google.com/p/sma-bluetooth/
I have a SENA UD100 Bluetooth USB Adapter and did try to install the bluez-utils to check hcitool, but the device wasn't recognised, so I have something missing there.
http://code.google.com/p/sma-bluetooth/wiki/Installation comment dated Jun 17, 2011 has a nice list of the other requirements needed to get it working, but some of the installation requirements I couldn't obtain with apt-get
Full list is: though mysql and curl are already installed fine. "apt-get install build-essential mysql-server libbluetooth-dev libmysqlclient-dev curl libcurl3-dev"
I'm reasonably ok getting around on boxes if things work with apt-get, after that I tend to fall over 🙂 If there's any advice or steps you think I could go through to get this running it would be really appreciated. Once its working I'll document how I got it working for anyone else that may be interested.
Thanks Chirpa, I've been following your guides. They've been most helpful in providing me with points from which to google answers.
I've never dealt with kernel modules before so tonight's exercise is to see where that will lead/if it's required. I was able to install bluez-utils last night and I have been able to see a device connected via USB with a description of 'bluetooth' (can't recall if it was via `lsusb` though), so I hope that it's now a case of tying those two pieces together.
It seems the bluez documentation/wiki has disappeared from the internet which makes it harder to work out how to list detected BT devices!
I've downloaded the GPL sources, extracted the kernel files and run a `make menuconfig`. I enabled the only bluetooth item I could see (under 'USB Devices -> bluetooth (experimental)'). However when I then run a `make dep` or `make` I get the following error message:
sparc-linux-gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/opt/linux-infrant-2.4.20/include -g -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -m32 -pipe -mno-fpu -fcall-used-g5 -fcall-used-g7 -S -o check_asm_data.s check_asm_data.c check_asm_data.c:19: error: syntax error before numeric constant check_asm_data.c:19: error: syntax error before numeric constant check_asm_data.c:159: error: syntax error before '}' token check_asm_data.c:5: warning: array `check_asm_data' assumed to have one element make[1]: *** [check_asm] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/linux-infrant-2.4.20/arch/sparc/kernel' make: *** [check_asm] Error 2 soundwave:/opt/linux-infrant-2.4.20#
Does this mean there's a problem with the src files in the GPL download? Or maybe make menuconfig isn't setting something correctly?
Makes me wonder though as to whether the GPL downloads are actually the exact same ones used to build the 4.1.19 Raidiator release for Sparc systems given that I can't compile them on the system...
I haven't done any systems programming for a long time but is this a usual issue when compiling sources across platforms? Am I likely to have better success if I cross-compile the sources on another linux box?
I connect easily the NXT brick to my computer (windows 7) but after that, the RobotC programm does not see it! After clicking "repeat search" in USB or Bluetooth selection, I have immediatly the message "no 'NXT' bricks could be found". Thank you to help for a solution.
