\nOnce you have your RPi paired with another device you have a Bluetooth link, but you still need to set up another protocol over the Bluetooth called "RFCOMM" to provide an emulated serial connection between the two devices.\n<\/p>\n
\nEnter the command:\n<\/p>\n
\r\n\r\nsudo nano \/etc\/bluetooth\/rfcomm.conf\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nAdd the connection details:\n<\/p>\n
\r\n\r\nrfcomm1 {\r\n # Automatically bind the device at startup\r\n bind yes;\r\n\r\n # Bluetooth address of the device\r\n device xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;\r\n\r\n # RFCOMM channel for the connection\r\n channel 1;\r\n\r\n # Description of the connection\r\n comment "My Bluetooth Connection";\r\n}\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nCreating A Serial Link Via Bluetooth To A PC Running Windows
\n<\/h4>\n
\nFollow the RPI steps to setup the rfcom link at its end.\n<\/p>\n
\nOpen the Windows Control Panel. In search box, type "Bluetooth", and then click "Change Bluetooth settings".\n<\/p>\n
\nIn the Bluetooth Settings dialog box, click the COM Ports tab, select a port, and then click OK. If no COM port is listed, then setup Windows to accept a connection by pressing "Add", and then select "Incoming". OK and exit. Windows should then see the RPi serial connection after a few seconds and create a serial port automatically for it (you see a taskbar message its happened and the new COM port appears in device manager).\n<\/p>\n
\nAdding The RPi From Windows\n<\/p>\n
\nIn Devices and printers use 'Add Device' and if the RPi is in pairing mode it should find the RPi.\n<\/p>\n
\nOnce the device is added and windows has finished adding drivers (can take quite a a while – wait for the taskbar device added message), right click the RPi in device and select properties. In the 'Services' tab there should be a servicee for serial, e.g. 'serial port SSP'. Ensure it is enabled. If there isn't then there is likely a problem. <<< We got stuck here and had to give up due to time constraints as this was the case for us<\/em><\/span>\n<\/p>\n\nSend serial from the RPi command line
