Obtaining RSSI or Link Quality
site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: bluetooth-dev@lists.apple.com User-agent: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.6 (X11/20040519) 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, Pall Thayer -- _______________________________ Pall Thayer artist/teacher http://www.this.is/pallit http://pallit.lhi.is/panse Lorna http://www.this.is/lorna _______________________________ _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
