Preparation:
** Find the mac of the bt-gps:
load bluez.tcz
put your bt-usb
activate the bt-gps
go to System Tools - Services and activate bluez
in a terminal:
tc@box:~$ hciconfig -a
hci0: Type: BR/EDR Bus: USB

and write in a paper the "Class: 0xXXXXXX"
tc@box:~$ sudo hciconfig hci0 up
tc@box:~$ hcitool scan
Scanning ...
11:YY:33:YY:57:YY BT-GPS
and write in a paper 11:YY:33:YY:57:YY
** create this three files:
create as root the file /usr/local/etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf
#
# HCI daemon configuration file.
#
# $Id: hcid.conf,v 1.4 2004/04/29 20:14:21 holtmann Exp $
#
# HCId options
options {
# Automatically initialize new devices
autoinit yes;
# Security Manager mode
# none - Security manager disabled
# auto - Use local PIN for incoming connections
# user - Always ask user for a PIN
#
security auto;
# Pairing mode
# none - Pairing disabled
# multi - Allow pairing with already paired devices
# once - Pair once and deny successive attempts
pairing multi;
# PIN helper
# pin_helper /usr/local/bin/bluepincat;
pin_helper /usr/local/etc/bluetooth/PIN;

}
# Default settings for HCI devices
device {
# Local device name
# %d - device id
# %h - host name

name "BlueZ %h (%d)";
# Local device class

#
#lp hold,sniff;
#
lp rswitch,hold,sniff,park;
# Authentication and Encryption
auth enable;
encrypt enable;
}
in the line: class 0xZZZZZZ; put your 0xXXXXXX from "Class: 0xXXXXXX"
important is the line: pin_helper /usr/local/etc/bluetooth/PIN;
create as root the file /usr/local/etc/bluetooth/PIN
0000
this is normally the PIN of the bt-gps (4 zeros)
create as root the file /usr/local/etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf
#
# RFCOMM configuration file.
#
rfcomm0 {
# Automatically bind the device at startup
bind yes;
# Bluetooth address of the device
device xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;
# RFCOMM channel for the connection
channel 1;
# Description of the connection
comment "BT GPS";
}
in the line: device xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx; put your 11:YY:33:YY:57:YY from the BT-GPS
**put in the file /opt/.filetool.lst this three lines:
usr/local/etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf
usr/local/etc/bluetooth/PIN
usr/local/etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf
** reboot your PC
load tangogps.tcz
put your bt-usb
activate the bt-gps
go to System Tools - Services and activate bluez
load gpsd.tcz
in a terminal:
tc@box:~$ sudo hciconfig hci0 up
tc@box:~$ sudo rfcomm bind rfcomm0
tc@box:~$ sudo gpsd /dev/rfcomm0 -F /var/run/gpsd.sock -P /var/run/gpsd.pi
and finally execute tangogps with his wbar icon
now you can see in the map your position and other information.
to see if all goes ok before execute tangogps you can see in a terminal:
tc@box:~$ cat /dev/rfcomm0
