Release Juicy Blue Nuggets Of Pandora...

[techFreak]

Hi all,

Bluetooth is running on Pandora.

More to come later!

 

[Patrick R Ludvigsen]

Great, now to buy a Wiimote

 

[Zor Prime]

Looks like the LCD constraints have led us to secure some from Nokia?

(j/k)

Cool man! Nice work.

 

[Tozarian]

Thats nice, what kind of things can you do with it.

 

[atomicthumbs]

Cool!

 

[fischju2000]

Pandora + wiimote = perfect HTPC for me

 

[P90Puma]

Possible future A2DP support?

 

[Hotcooler]

I guess (and hope) A2DP will be there from the start.

 

[lubidog]

Brilliant! Thank you!!!!

Hmm... can't help but to notice that the Pandora is identified as a generic BT device.

I think it would be cool to have it identify as a andora1: :lol:

Although we would have to hack every phone in the world to insert the ID icon

Just out of curiosity, what exactly causes a device to be identified as either [computer] or [phone] or [generic]?

 

[jakshep2]

...so does this mean theoretically we can use the wiimote + peripherals to act as a lightgun in some emulated games?

 

[Chero]

Always nice to see progress :rolleyes:
Keep up the good work !!

Just out of curiosity, what exactly causes a device to be identified as either [computer] or [phone] or [generic]?

A "number" (hex-code ?) in the settings file. So you can have other devices recognise your Pandora as a phone if you'd want to. My Pandora will be recognised as a computer (laptop).

 

[SinusRoris]

cool. good news
will be great to share music with all my friends via bt.

my guess would be the types of bluetooth services it provides, and whether it identifies as host or client (pandora should have both I think?)

 

[hells_dark]

Actually i never used bluetooth.
I wonder how i'll use it with my pandora

Maybe if someone makes a Sensor bar to Usb peripheral... I don't know how that will work though... :huh:

The sensor bar is simply two groups of LEDs. It doesn't actively communicate with the Wiimote at all. You could power one through USB easily, or even have a small one handy that is battery powered. If you're really hard-pressed, you can even use two candles a few feet apart as a sensor bar

 

[devhace]

Bahhh we should have asked for two IR LEDs in the top corners of the Pandora... few cents more for ultimate Wiimote-age!

Is the Wifi/Bluetooth chip still shrouded in NDA mystery?

 

[.Gogeta§§J4BR.]

Is the Wifi/Bluetooth chip still shrouded in NDA mystery?

I don't care, as long as the drivers and the apps using it actually work!

and yeah, getting the pandora to work with the wiimote is going to be fun

it's actually going to be very useful if one can connect a ps3 controller wirelessly to the pandora, because it's going to be so good for playing multiplayer! B)
don't you guys think?
