asterisk users - Oct 2004 - New Channel Driver: chan_bluetooth

Hi,

after a couple of days work banging my head against the wall (bloody standards 
my arse), i've got chan_bluetooth to a point where it's starting to
function
- certianly more than just proof of concept now.

The code is far, far from stable, and only been tested with one dongly 
(Cambridge Silicon), and two devices (Nokia 6310i and a HBH-200 headset) - 
and even those devices are not FULLY functional yet.  I can make and recieve 
calls through the devices, at times though ;)

So why am I announcing it when it doesn't even work properly?  I'd like
to get
people testing it with their devices and bluetooth adapters, see if it will 
pair, see debug output - see what phones/headsets do and don't work, see
what
documentation i need to add for setting it up, and of course get some general 
feedback about peoples wishes/views on the module.

Code is at <http://www.crazygreek.co.uk/chan_bluetooth>  Follow
instructions
on that page, or ask on list [1] when you encounter problems!

Please, let me have some feedback so i can get this driver working properly 
with all HeadsetProfile devices!

 ~ Theo

Cool, I've been looking forward to something like this for months.  I 
won't be able to play with it until the weekend, but it's great to see 
progress.

I'll see that I can test this later this week or this weekend.

Hi,


As you may have noticed I also started working on a bluetooth channel, 
but since you already have a channel you probably are going to win this 
contest anyway.

I just tested the code in Asterisk 1.0.0 with a Nokia 6210i and a Jabra 
both connect over RFCOMM and send debug AT messages, but with neighter 
of them am I able to get any sound. Or make a call out to the phone.
I don't know if your code is having the same 'strange' sco timeouts
as
my test code has but I was pretty sure the Jabra-headset itself worked 
without those timeout.

An extension has been made to BLT/Jabra, but when calling to it nothing 
happens. I would be happy to help debugging and/or enhancing the code :)

Just to note it here too (along with the chan_bluetooth list), I tested 
this out with two phones: a Sony-Ericsson T68i and a SE T637.

Both phones were seen without any problems. The T68i has some 
(non-Asterisk) related problems where I wasn't able to place a call; with 
the T637, I can make a call, but only get audio one way (person on the 
remote end talking to me; the person on the other end doesn't get any 
audio.)

In any case, great start!

This is on kernel 2.6.8-pre4, with a CS radio.

Will this need a mobile phone with bluetooth support or can you use a
mere bluetooth headset as a client, if so how would you pick up and
hang up or dial?

I would really love to play with that, but as everybody knows, Japan
is soooo incredibly far advanced in mobile phones that the only phone
I could buy here which does have bluetooth works only as a data modem
for a Windoze notebook, no voice, no headset support, no addressbook
syncing, which is why I then bought an iPod for the $250 the phone
would have cost.
