Would still love to learn how to use HID manager for Bluetooth, though. All projects that use Bluetooth that I know of use the lower level Bluetooth API to communicate (which works very well, BTW) That's the way I ended up going for my project.

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? .hc

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.
