No problem about that. Do you happen to know of any example code
that does use HID Manager to get data from bluetooth HID compliant
devices? That would be very useful for me for a related project.

Hans,
Looks like I steered you wrong. I found out that he WiiRemote is
not really an "official" Bluetooth device, although it does use
Bluetooth technology to do its thing. Apparently the HID report
data sent from it is not something that the built-in Bluetooth HID
driver allows, so it does not get posted to the HID system. So, you
cannot use the HID system to get the data you are looking for.
Sorry for sending you down the wrong path!

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/
Additional info on http://www.wiili.org/index.php/DarwiinRemote
Best,

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.
