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. - Luigi Castelli _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

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