Problems (#1) - wiimote discovering problem (#2) - Message List

(some of the linebreaks didn't make it into the post above :P)

Ok, another note:

$ ./wmdemo 00:19:1D:C2:E6:C4

Put Wiimote in discoverable mode now (press 1+2)... 0:Error opening control channel Unable to connect to wiimote

and

$ ./wmdemo

Put Wiimote in discoverable mode now (press 1+2)... -1:Error reading device name 0:Unable to find wiimote Unable to connect to wiimote

I have try your example code:

[valdar@nathan cwiid]$ gcc -I/usr/include/ -c example.c
[valdar@nathan cwiid]$ gcc -lwiimote -oexample example.o
[valdar@nathan cwiid]$ ./example
Wiimote addr : 00:19:1D:93:AC:5B
Error opening control channel
Connection Error

and wmdemo (in 2 quick execution follow one another with wiimote in discover mode since the first command):

[valdar@nathan wmdemo]$ ./wmdemo 00:19:1D:93:AC:5B
Put Wiimote in discoverable mode now (press 1+2)...
0:Unable to find wiimote
Unable to connect to wiimote
[valdar@nathan wmdemo]$ ./wmdemo 00:19:1D:93:AC:5B
Put Wiimote in discoverable mode now (press 1+2)...
0:Error opening control channel
Unable to connect to wiimote

while wminput:

[valdar@nathan wmdemo]$ wminput 00:19:1D:93:AC:5B
Put Wiimote in discoverable mode now (press 1+2)...
Ready.

Why with wminput it works and with those 2 simple programs doesn't? I think that this is the main point of the problem.

This is my lsusb:

[valdar@nathan cwiid]$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 1131:1001 Integrated System Solution Corp. KY-BT100 Bluetooth Adapter
.
.
.

and this my bluez-lib version:

[valdar@nathan ~]$ pacman -Q bluez-libs
bluez-libs 3.7

I hope this is useful.

Ok - after going through the BlueZ code, it looks like the batostr and strtoba functions leave out a baswap call, so use ba2str and str2ba instead. (according to the BlueZ dev list, this is the desired behavior, although no explanation is given).

I've also changed the wiimote_connect prototype slightly so that it takes a pointer to bdaddr_t, this is more in-line with all of the BlueZ functions, and more efficient anyway. And I've corrected the comment in wmdemo that may have led you to use batostr in the first place.

The following revision of your code works for me (that is, it exits without printing an error):

#include <stdio.h>
#include "wiimote.h"
void callback(int id, int mesg_count, union wiimote_mesg* mesg[]) {
    if(mesg_count > 0)
        printf("recieved mesg\n");
}
int main() {
    wiimote_t *wi_mote;
    bdaddr_t wi_addr;
    char str_addr[18];
    str2ba("00:19:1D:6F:7D:1E", &wi_addr);
    ba2str(&wi_addr, str_addr);
    printf("Wiimote addr : %s\n", str_addr);
    if((wi_mote = wiimote_connect(&wi_addr, &callback, NULL)) == NULL)
        printf("Connection Error\n");
    return 0;
}

If you're still having problems, post the output of 'lswm -al' (you'll need to download the svn source for the lswm utility).
