# XWiimote - tools

# Modified very slightly by Ryan Myers to clarify instructions for a Wiiboard
# and automatically trust the device so it can
# reconnect with no user interaction.

#
# This script enables auto-reconnect on your wiimote. This script should only be
# used if you really require auto-reconnect now. There is work going on to get
# auto-reconnect of wiimotes into upstream bluez repository.
# If you need this feature now, you may read below, but be aware that this
# method described here is neither fast nor reliable. It is a small hack to get
# it work.
#
# Please specify your device bdaddr as first argument to this script.
#
# To run this tool, you need:
#  - "simple-agent"
#  - "test-device"
#  - "test-input"
# from the "test" directory of the bluez distribution. They are available here:
#   http://git.kernel.org/?p=bluetooth/bluez.git;a=tree;f=test
# They are GPL licensed and hence not included here. They are simple python
# scripts and can be just copied into this directory.
# The scripts uses "bluez-" as default prefix for these tools. You can pass
# another prefix as second argument to overwrite this.
# You can also specify BIN_TESTINP, BIN_TESTDEV, BIN_SIMPLEA as environment
# variables with the absolute/relative path to the given binaries. The prefix
# will not be applied in this case.
#
# The python scripts need "python2" and are not python3 compatible, so specify
# the python interpreter as "PYTHON" below if the default value does not work.
# Or pass PYTHON="<path>" as environment variable.
#
# This script REQUIRES that you have the "wiimote.so" plugin enabled in your
# bluetoothd daemon. It is often NOT part of the official distribution package
# so check whether it is installed and enabled.
#
# Please disable gnome-bluetooth, blueman or any similar bluetooth applet to
# avoid inter-process conflicts.
#
# This script does not check for error codes, so if you see errors, abort the
# script with ctrl+c. This script first removes the device. Then it connects to
# the device without pairing and without connecting to the input service. It
# does this just to retrieve SDP values. After that you should disconnect the
# device again by pressing the power-button for 3 seconds.
# Then press the red-sync button again, the script will now connect to the
# device and perform pairing. If the script asks you for PIN input, then you did
# not install the "wiimote.so" plugin for bluetoothd.
# If you did, bluetoothd chooses the right PIN for you. After pairing it
# directly connects to the input device. If this succeeds, the wiimote is ready
# for auto-reconnect.
#
# To test auto-reconnect, disconnect your wiimote. Then invoke
# "python2 ./simple-agent"
# And you will have an agent that listens for incoming connections. Now a single
# key-press on the remote should be enough to make the wiimote connect to your
# host. You only need to acknowledge the connection in the simple-agent by
# writing "yes" when it prompts you.
#

# pass PYTHON=xy to overwrite this
