Hi all,
I have the $49 Bluesmirf dongle that I've connected to an Acroname serial/RS232 converter to a Keyspan USB/RS232 converter to Zterm. (whew) and a Bluetooth USB dongle in a Macintosh running Tiger 10.4.11. I'm trying to use the Bluetooth Setup assistant to pair with the Bluesmirf and getting no joy.
I've tried using both "default" and "1234" as the passkey but the Bluetooth Setup Assistant gives me a "The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. Hmph.
I also found a Bluesmirf AT command set PDF and tried talking to the Bluesmirf itself to see if it could tell me anything. That also failed. although I was able to "+++" in and "AT" gives me "OK", not one single AT command past that lonely "AT" works, they all send back "ERROR" with no other explanation.
Can some kind soul have pity on me and help me get this thing to work? I knew BT was hard to use, but I didn't think it was impossible!
Help me Obiwan Kenobi, your my only hope,
DLC
