Sending a message to Pi via bluetooth

Sat May 18, 2013 8:32 pm

I would like to send a message to my Raspberry Pi using bluetooth. The source could be my macbook or iphone and the destination is my pi. Is there a tutorial which goes over this ?

What sort of message? You can get a bluetooth serial adaptor that plugs into the UARTs and allows a console login, or you can use a bluetooth USB dongle for full-on bluetooth.

i have attached a bluetooth dongle. I want to use a python script on my macbook or phone and send a message to PI and show it on the LCD attached to the PI.

Does anyone know of any libraries which can send text messages to raspberry pi using bluetooth. I ideally like a daemon running on the PI, which listens to messages from its trusted clients and then displays them on a LCD.

I'm also very interested in this. I would like to run a shell script with my smartphone and have a bluetooth usb module. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
