Couldn't get Bluetooth console working with Python on my N93 - Super Happy Dev House Redux Part 2

Submitted by Roland on Mon, 2007-05-14 07:11

I couldn't do the most basic thing and connect my terminal.app with my Python running on my Nokia N93. Aaargh!

I followed the Using the Python for Series 60 Bluetooth Console from OS X HOW TO from Erk Smartt but was unsuccessful.

Invoking the Bluetooth console from the python app on the Nokia N93 worked but then after typing "screen /dev/tty.BT_CONSOLE", I get the following error messages: "Cannot open line '/dev/tty.BT_CONSOLE' for R/W: Resource busy " followed by "Sorry, could not find a PTY. ".

What am I doing wrong? I know I had this working with my Mac and Series 60 Python on the N70 back in the day so it's a bit frustrating!

Hi Roland,

i'm having the same issue. and what's even more frustrating, is that i got it running 5 minutes ago !!!

I hit "ctrl+D" to exit the screen, and couldn't reconnect ever since. i'm gonna try a basic reboot, and hopefully, it'll do the trick...

if not, i'd be glad to know how you managed to get it working :-)

 

cheers

If you don't terminate the screen process properly, the tty resource remains busy until you do.

Open your Activity Monitor and list All Processes. Then find any 'screen' processes running under your user and terminate them. Done.
