I need to make an application that measures either RSSI or Link Quality.
I've been going through the archives and seen a couple of posts related
to this and from what i gather in those posts is that this isn't
currently possible in Mac OS X(?). I must admit that I don't know a lot
when it comes to programming but usually I manage to find a way to hack
my way through things and somehow end up with a program or script
actually doing what I want it to do. I don't understand Apples
programming documentation or the header files but have managed to hack
out a little program that lists paired devices, lets you select one and
creates a baseband connection to it (that times out after a while). I'm
mostly wondering, if you can't get RSSI or Link Quality, then what do
these mean in IOBluetooth/Bluetooth.h and how are they used?
// Command Group: Status
kBluetoothHCICommandGroupStatus
= 0x05,
kBluetoothHCICommandReadFailedContactCounter
= 0x0001,
kBluetoothHCICommandResetFailedContactCounter
= 0x0002,
kBluetoothHCICommandGetLinkQuality
= 0x0003,
kBluetoothHCICommandReadRSSI
= 0x0005,
best regards,
