WiFi connection: Raspberry Pi 3

[hlmstgo]

Hello,

I'm new on raspberry developing, but looking for a way to send data to a server I found the raspberry pi 3. I already bought it, but I have not found a way to control the Bluetooth and WiFi modules. Is there an API reference for this modules?

Regards,

Harry

It is active out-of-box.

OK, but how could i connect an, for example, bluetooth mouse to this module
is there any hidden gui or anything else?

[DougieLawson]

sudo apt-get install blueman

That gives you the blueman-applet which sits on the GUI taskbar and does all the special stuff you need for bluetooth.

thx for the reply

Unfortunately, I haven't got my raspberry with me that I can test out the GUI until next week.

sudo apt-get install blueman

does this manage also the rfcomm outgoing connection?

Thanks to all!

Now I have another problem. I was doing some nodejs code to connect to the wifi using the npm library called wireless-tools and on the moment when I try to scan using the method of the library, it don't showed nothing. I boot the pi to Desktop GUI and waited for it to scan and any AP was showed and mi cellphone was set as hotspot apart of my router wifi interface.

I tried using another SD with a non edited version of Raspbian Jessie and the problem continues. Also tried using both SDs the command iwlist wlan0 scan and nothing happend. What could be the problem?

Most unexplained problems with most raspberries are down to a worse than useless power supply or a useless cable between your power supply and your RPi.

I changed the power supply to the one used to charge the iPads. The output is 5V1 and 2A1, but it did not worked. Looking on other post I found that the output that the command

Code: Select all

iwconfig wlan0

shows the following to other users

Code: Select all

wlan0     IEEE 802.11bgn  ESSID:off/any
          Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=1496 dBm
          Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off

In my case is throws:

Code: Select all

wlan0     IEEE 802.11bgn  ESSID:off/any  
          Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=1496 dBm   
          Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:on

the difference is that the power management on my output appears as ON.

I edited the

Code: Select all

/etc/network/interfaces

file and added

Code: Select all

wireless-power off

and it worked, but the problem persist.

Run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade that will get a new kernel and firmware that should iron out all of your Pi3B WiFi problems.

I have owned my Pi 3 for a week and a half and I am unable to get the WiFi to come on and I have not even looked at the bluetooth. I have a feeling it is something simple that I am not doing. this is the RPi i have owned, but i do have some computer experience. I have ran the apt-get update and upgrade right now. when I run my cursor over the network icon it list the wlan as not associated. Could I have turned it off? thanks for any help
