Looks like I need to make a fix to not loading YAAC plugins if there is an installation problem to at least let users read the help pages for the plugin, even if the rest of that plugin doesn't work.
For the Bluetooth plugin on Linux systems, you need to have the native Bluetooth user-mode libraries installed so the Java code can call them. On a Raspberry Pi (or other Debian/Ubuntu variants), issue the command sudo apt-get install libbluetooth libbluetooth-dev On Red Hat, Fedora Core, etc., issue the command sudo dnf install bluez-libs Also, verify that you have all three of the following JAR files in your YAAC/plugins directory: bluetoothport.jar bluecove-2.1.0.jar bluecove-gpl-2.1.0.jar All three should have been installed if you properly installed the plugin from the bluetoothport.zip distro file. There may be an issue that the native stub library included with bluecove for ARM processors is named libbluecove_armv5tel.so, which may not jive with the CPU architecture model on the Raspberry Pi. If it doesn't work after confirming the JAR files and native Linux distro packages are installed, get back to me, and I'll see about improving the plugin distribution with a suitable native stub for Raspbian. Hope this helps.

I want to use this mobile with a TT4BT Serial Bluetooth device and a TT4 that I have in the Truck. I currently use a phone with aprsdroid to talk to the device, but would prefer to use YAAC on a raspberry pi with a 7" touch screen that I have set up. I have gone through every tutorial that I can find, and nothing seems to work getting Bluecove installed. I get the following error in YAAC {Newest Version} Unable to access operating system Bluetooth stack: javax.bluetooth.BluetoothStateException: BlueCove library bluecove not available. Decent instructions on Bluecove seem few and far between or are only for older versions of Raspbian. Any help would be appreciated. Mike AC0VP |
