Tunerstudio on Linux Bluetooth headache. Help please

[Nigep]

I am wanting to get TunerStudio working over Bluetooth to my ECU. I am running ShadowDash on my phone with the Bluetooth adapter and can easily log / monitor via my phone over Bluetooth. It is totally stable and there are no issues with the Bluetooth connection.


I am running GalliumOS which is a Linux distribution for a Chromebook.

I have downloaded and installed the beta version of TunerStudio and this works perfectly with my USB to RS232 lead.

I am wanting to be able to make adjustments to my ECU over Bluetooth instead of having to swap between my USB and Bluetooth adapter as that would be far easier and convenient as it is a bit of a pain disconnection the BT dongle and connecting to the USB lead everytime I want to tweak the Tune.

I had to add my user to the dialout group in order for the USB to work as seen in the screenshot below. Once I did this TS worked without issue.


Once I try to get the BT conenction working, I hit problems.

I have been able to pair to the adapter and can see it gets mounted on

Code: Select all

/dev/rfcomm0

However TunerStudio is unable to detect it. Do I have to add my user to any groups like I did for the USB or change permissions or anything?

I am happy to remove/uninstall any versions of java etc that I have and install anything anyone can suggest/recommend that will work.

I keep seeing posts from people who have managed to get it working, but those posts don`t seem to have any workarounds for issues faced during installation. Despite spending a great deal of time searching on here and trying to get it to work, I have been unable to get it working.

ANY suggestions are welcome, I`ll try anything at this stage

Can you see data coming out of the BT Adapter on the serial side if you put a terminal on it?
Do you know the BT Adapter is configured properly?

The BT adapter works perfectly when connected to my phone and running shadow dash or msdroid. I can run all day long using the BT dongle to the phone.

It's the laptop that isn't seeing Megasquirt when I try to connect using the laptop BT.

Is that what you were asking or have I misunderstood.?
