Will bluetooth be supported one day ?

Post by Elric »

Hi support Guys,

Bluetooth devices (scanners, mouses, keyboards...) are more and more numerous and are very handy.
Is is planned WTware on Raspberry to support them one day ?

Thanks

Any update on this? I can confirm that my Bluetooth mouse and keyboard is working perfectly using a Raspberry PI 4 with a USB Bluetooth dongle that I plug into a USB slot. Would like to use a Bluetooth headset but that would have to connect direct.

Because it's not Bluetooth. Its' unconfigurable radio interface that needs no support from OS. OS thinks it's usual USB mouse and keyboard.

Bluetooth is not supported by WTware just now.

Since 6.0.24 WTware version on Raspberry Pi it's possible to use Bluetooth mouses, keyboards and barcode scanners in HID mode, keyboard emulation. Manual: https://wtware.com/docs5/bluetooth.html
