MultiWiiConf 1_8_patch2 with Bluetooth Serial Problem

Post by Rudi48 »

Hello,
When I tried MultiWiiConf 1_8_patch2 with Bluetooth Serial from a Linux
(Ubuntu 1104) Netbook to a MultiWii Controller with Bluetooth Serial Module
I had a problem with not finding the Serial Port.
Under Linux the Bluetooth Serial Port is named /dev/rfcomm0.

The used file application.linux/lib/RXTXcomm.jar is version 2.1-7,
which does not look for the Serial Port "/dev/rfcomm0".
It would be better to use the actual RXTXcomm.jar version 2.2pre2, which is also used
in the actual Arduino Software version 22. With that version the Serial Port
"/dev/rfcomm0" is found.
I have compiled MultiWiiConf 1_8_patch2 with an updated RXTXcomm.jar version in Processing.
After that, the Serial Port "/dev/rfcomm0" was found.
For more detailed information have a look at:

and
http://www.rudiswiki.de/wiki9/QuadrocopterBluetooth

It would be nice, if Alexinparis could update his development environment (Processing).
I think, a Bluetooth connection to MultiWiiConf could help in logging the
flight data for improvement of the PID parameters.
