Instructions For Adding Bluetooth To Sl6000 Options

[guylhem]

Update on 07-06-06:
Attention - It seems that the module needed is not a C09 but a C19 - Speculatrix is inquiring on this. Please do not purchase a C09.


Hello

As I promised long ago, here are some instructions to add bluetooth to your SL6000 Zaurus.

1. Purchase a WML AHR C09 from Segor.de
2. Open your zaurus
3. See the attached picture of a Zaurus without Bluetooth, compared to a Zaurus with Bluetooth
4. Solder the chip accordingly. Note : the long line and the big X are for the antenna. The AHR C09 has an antenna built it, so don't bother.
5. Install bluez, start with:

hciattach /dev/ttyS2 csr 115200
hcid -f /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf
sdpd

This will hopefully start bluetooth and lit the blue led.

Then:
hcitool scan
to try to find your cellphone
sdptool browse cellphone_mac_addres
to find the serial port (usually 1)
rfcomm connect 0 cellphone_mac_address serial_port

this way /dev/rfcomm0 will be your cellphone

6. Enjoy the cool hack, and wait for the next upgrade (921 kbps bluetooth)

Hey guys, for the light pipe, you can use a piece of toslink cable for surround sound systems. It's just really thick optical cable. I used some on my hacked orinoco gold card, works great. I'll post some picks later. Also for the guys in the states, don't know about europe, you can get the fiber optic light add-on things for mini-mag lights, same stuff, but alot cheaper. http://www.niteize.com/productdetail.php?c...8&product_id=68

Regarding the WML-C09-AHR chip that Guylhem recomened. Does anyone (DIRK) know if that chip is able to just be mounted/soldered and go. Will it work with out the voltage regulators and such. Or does it even need them.

I have also contacted segor.de about the WML-C09-AHR chip. They are very good about replying to my emails which is great b/c i cant read there website. Shipping is very expensive to the US though. i am thinking about shipping to the UK where my mother is visiting for couple weeks then have here bring it back for me.

Guylhem implied in his original post that it was pin-for-pin compatible. Hopefully he can confirm this.

me too.
I am willing to be a conduit to buy a bunch of these if people are interested, as I could probably get a small discount for, say, five. However, since these AFAIK are parts from Japan, there must be a US-based distributor for Mitsumi? who has them.

I would be willing to go in on a bundle of chips. I have a couple of Zaurii that i would like to mod with the BT hack. My only concern is that the voltage regulators will need to be installed. I have asked Dirk about them but i still dont understand why they are needed. It seems to work with out them. i gather that they are need to shut it off and supply PROPER voltage to it.
