Starting Off

OK, so i'll be using symbian SDK to write symbian c++ so it seems, i have installed qt also just in case it's of benefit. all in the familiar carbide.c++ ide which is based on eclipse.

First off, I will have to do some hello world type apps, as I'm a complete noob to this whole symbian area.

Second, set up a basic BT connection, advertise our hid service.

From reading around the Nokia forums it seems I will need to implement the device side of the bluetooth hid profile. I have already DLed the spec from bluetooth.com http://www.bluetooth.com/Specification%20Documents/HID_SPEC_V10.pdf

I have some experience with bluetooth from a similar j2me project I did a couple of years ago as part of a college project http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mcmonk/pmwiki/pmwiki.php.

...

Will get back to this later..

  1. Hi,

    I hope you can finish the program soon. If you havent know, someone posted similar program in http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/Bluetooth_HID_profile_%28client_device%29. However, it does not work with standard Microsoft Windows Bluetooth driver.

  2. Unfortunately I'm giving up on this project. Just never really had the drive to finish it.
