bluedevil-1.0 and libbluedevil-1.8-1 ebuilds

by rullzer on Nov.13, 2010, under Gentoo

Yesterday I found myself with some free time and still no nice bluetooth programs in my kde-4.5.2 setup. And since yesterday bluedevil-1.0 was released it sounded like good time to try it out and fix some ebuilds.

So if you go to the gentoo bugzilla and then navigate to bug #345239 you will find two “quick-and-dirty” ebuilds. But they work ;)

So if you want bluetooth in your kde, check them out and if you have the skills and time improve the ebuilds.

WiiMoteControl

by rullzer on Dec.04, 2008, under Hardware, Linux, Programming things

I have been playing the idea to control my PC with a WiiMote for some time now. But this week I decided to actually write it.

It is a very simple program using bluez for the bluetooth connection with the WiiMote (which we need, obviously) and XTestFakeKeyEvent. This has as a side effect that it will only work with X running. But that should not be a problem since well. Who would want to control his terminal with a WiiMote?

The very very basics is done. The D-Pad on the WiiMote generates up/down/left/right-keyevents. I just need to find a use full meaning for the other buttons. But maybe a control file in which the user can specify all is a better solution.

Currently it is not published on-line (yet) since I need to clean the code a little.

I am aware some other programs can do what I want but after checking out the sources they just seem to complex. I want it all simple, clean and small..
