Hi guys,
Eivind,
if you'll have USB driver working other things are pretty
straightforward. You need to send HCI_Inquiry command to the device
command pipe via and read event from the event pipe. You specify
maximum responses and inquiry interval and get back list of devices
nearby. You can write a command line tool or kernel extension (kext).
I actually did exactly that myself, I have somewhat working Bluetooth
stack running on Mac OS X. Please check out my home page

If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,
Dmitry.
Hi Eivind
The only way with Apple's Bluetooth API is to invoke the GUI Dialog
for selecting a device.
This you can easily find out not only by asking a questions on a list
but also reading older mails
before, as it is the standard question asked by many.
If you only want to check, what devices are in range and you want to
do this on your mac,
you can have a look at our small bluetooth stack we use for our small
bluetooth nodes
on http://www.btnode.ethz.ch/.
it works on mac, but requires a bluetooth module connected to a serial
port.
parts of the RFCOMM implementation are already working.
the source code is available, so you could implement a USB driver to
use the bt module
you are using (and make me happy, as I'm using 4 bluetooth devices
connected to
a PCI multi-serial port and have quite some cables on my desk)
cheers,
Matthias Ringwald
Hi,
In my school-project I'm making an application that searches for
nearby bluetooth-devices.
..
(that returns the device addresses to the bluetoothdevices that are
within range)
Can this be done? And if yes, can anyone please explain how?
best regards,
Eivind Andersen
