Mac Forum / Programming / Perl / November 2007bluetooth devices
How can I access a bluetooth device in OS X? My understanding (which could be wrong) is that /dev/blueThing1 won't work, because Apple wants us to use IOKit instead. I'm trying to getting data from 4 barcode scanners which are HID devices so normally they are treated like a keyboard. I've heard of a solution which uses AppleScript (which I don't know), something about reading Apple Events. But, this doesn't seem like the best solution to me...

In fact, it's usually the worst, coming in after "doing it by hand with paper and pencil" and "stabbing yourself repeatedly in the crotch".  SignatureDavid Cantrell | Minister for Arbitrary Justice |
