[Gumstix-users] bluetooth

[Sean W. <mod...@ho...>]

I've pretty much given up on the null modem and its bag of woes.  
Theoretically, I can accomplish everything I need with bluetooth (which I 
know to work).  The only problem is that I have no idea how to code using 
the bluetooth stack.  I can use hyperteminal to send to and receive files 
from the gumstix, but not to write my own code to do the same.  Here's what 
I'm looking at:

I want to be able to send and receive data from a "control computer" to the 
gumstix.  The gumstix controls the robostix and tells it what the control 
comuter wants it to do.  So, as the control computer sends out its demands, 
the gumstix takes it, sends it off to the robostix and then takes readings 
from the robostix.  This information is then passed back to the control 
computer for analysis.

The I/O between the gumstix and control computer needs to be wireless, but I 
can't seem to find any basic documentation about how to use bluez.  There 
doesn't seem to be anything useful included in the /buildroot/package/bluez 
nor does the support site have much either.  I'm pretty new to this kind of 
programming (networking and such) so a good set of basic functions and 
instructions would be ideal.  Failing that, I'd just like to take a look at 
the source.  Shouldn't I already have that?

If anyone could help out here, I'd appreciate it greatly.  Thanks.
