[BRLTTY] Brailliant Bi40X and bluetooth

[Isabel Ruffell]

Hello,

I have been using a HumanWare Brailliant BI 40X with a laptop running Debian Stable for a couple of years, and the connection via usb is reasonable. But I would like to get the bluetooth connection working, and have never managed to do so. Can this list help?

This is where I have reached:

1. I can see, pair and trust the device.
2. I can induce the unit to think that it has connected with the laptop, and save the connection
3. I can initiate a connection from the laptop.

At this point it goes into a cycle of disconnecting and connecting.

Investigation of logs reveals two possibly interesting errors

a) RFCOMM connect error (111): connection refused
b) hidOpenBluetoothDevice error (38): function not implemented  

I know the pairing process is different for this compared with (e.g.) the earlier BrailleNote Touch (c.2018) which I also have and which works. 

So is this a known issue, and if so is there anything I can do to move towards a solution? Or have I just messed up the config :-)

Bonus question:

I am also having problems with using the unit on Android (Galaxy Flip 5). The HumanWare documentation does not seem to relate very clearly to Talkback, and while I can get it to work via usb (ish), but it is rather opauqe and there seems to be an issue with setting the right braille table for input.

Again, I would be delighted to know that I am simply doing it all wrong, but any pointers very welcome!

Thanks for reading.

Isabel
