Pairing a Wii Fit Board and the Pandora?

[ekianjo]

Probably possible since this just came out :

https://github.com/skorokithakis/gr8w8upd8m8

with less dependencies than before.

You could use it to check your weight via bluetooth with your Pandora

I might give it a go unless someone beats me to it.

Any news on that project ?

Yeah, it works, at least under slackware. But there are a few issues with the bluetooth pairing, for me it keeps resetting after I do a measurement so it's a pain in the ass. One would need to compile a dev version of the bluez tool, apparently, to avoid that issue.

Slack -current uses a newer bluez.

Now that's interesting

Does it mean it will only work under Slackware ?

for now i try to make it work on slackware first

Are you still working on it or did you stop ?

stopped. I had to recompile a bluetooth driver to make it work and that was it too much trouble for what it's worth.

Note that it works on slackware, but you have to setup the wiiboard every SINGLE time you want to use it with the default bluetooth setup. The development version of that bt library/driver helps, apparently.
