I also am looking for the exact same thing as Luigi was a year ago. I checked out the code for the DarwiinRemote project, but it does not seem to use HID Manager. I am guessing based on this that is it using some CoreGraphics/QuartzComposer API:


CGEventPost(kCGHIDEventTap, event);

Anyone have any docs, example code, or even ideas about using Bluetooth devices with HID Manager?

Hi Luigi


take a look at the Code from the DarwiinRemote Project http://sourceforge.net/projects/darwiin-remote/

Hi there,

I am in the process of writing a driver for a HID
Bluetooth device. Specifically I am talking about the
Nintendo Wiiremote and accessories.

I read on the Apple website that Bluetooth inquiries
are not recommended and that the HID manager has
built-in capabilities to deal with Bluetooth devices
without even using the Bluetooth API.

I would like to use the HID manager to connect to the
device since at that point everything is taken care of
by the OS. However I don't know if that's gonna work
yet, so as a 2nd option I would like to use the
Bluetooth API calls to estabilish connection to the
device at a "lower level" so to speak. In the latter
case the functions defined in IOBluetoothUIUserLib.h
seem to be recommended over the non UI ones.

Unfortunately I couldn't find any sample code
anywhere.

Could anybody provide some sample code or point me to
resources that could help me in my project?

Thanks in advance for any help.
