Re: [PATCH bluez] wiimote: add Wii-Remote-Plus ID and name detection

From: Peter Olson <hidden>
Date: 2012-11-28 18:03:26

Apologies, the testing as a whole is not yet complete as I have some
issues still. However, the bluez portion of the fixes David was making
so seem to work properly. Before the patch I would have to use blueman
to force a connection without a paring code, after the patch the
bluetooth recognizes the device automatically and prompts for
accepting the connection. My remaining issues lie with getting some
userspace tools to recognize the wiimote, not with the bluez.

Hi David,

The Nintendo Wii Remote Plus uses a new product ID and name. To detect
them properly, we need to add them to the wiimote-module.

To avoid an overlong "if" statement, this converts the match-function to
walk over an array and check all VID/PID pairs and device-names. This
makes adding new devices much easier.

Hi Johan

I am actually not sure why Nintendo changed the VID/PID for the new revisions of
the WiimotePlus. I have a WiimotePlus which still uses the old numbers and works
here quite well. However, I have now got multiple requests from people with the
new device name and IDs. Unfortunately, I cannot test these so I'd like to have
a "Tested-by" by Peter (CC'ed) before this is applied.

Thanks
David

Well, the Tested-by never came, but since the patch looks ok to me I
went ahead and applied it anyway (with a minor fix to use G_N_ELEMENTS()
instead of your custom array length calculation).
Sorry for the long delay. But I don't have the device so it sometimes
takes a bit longer. Anyway, it doesn't do any harm if we apply it so
yes, thanks for not forgetting about it.

Cheers
David
