Which right are needed?

[hvdkooij]

I followed the steps but then it becomes ..... undocumented real fast.
so i found the pokit file in the tree but when I run it as common user on a Raspberry PI 400 it have now access to Bluetooth as far as I can tell.

~/dokit-build/src/cli $ ./dokit info
Detected locale "en_IE@euro" with character encoding "ISO-8859-15", which is not UTF-8.
Qt depends on a UTF-8 locale, and has switched to "C.UTF-8" instead.
If this causes problems, reconfigure your locale. See the locale(1) manual
for more information.
qt.bluetooth.bluez: Missing CAP_NET_ADMIN permission. Cannot determine whether a found address is of random or public type.
dokit.cli.command: Looking for first available Pokit device...
pokit.ble.discovery: Pokit device scan error: QBluetoothDeviceDiscoveryAgent::PoweredOffError
dokit.cli.command: Bluetooth discovery error: QBluetoothDeviceDiscoveryAgent::PoweredOffError

I must admin I havn't complied much myself these days. In the old days it was like:
./config;make; sudo make install

So any guidance here will be appriciated.

Ok. Bluetooth was disabled but the only way to find that was on the GUI desktop. I could not find a setting in raspi-config for this ....

After enabling it and running with sudo ....

~/dokit-build/src/cli $ sudo ./dokit info
Detected locale "en_IE@euro" with character encoding "ISO-8859-15", which is not UTF-8.
Qt depends on a UTF-8 locale, and has switched to "C.UTF-8" instead.
If this causes problems, reconfigure your locale. See the locale(1) manual
for more information.
dokit.cli.command: Looking for first available Pokit device...
Device address: 28:76:81:A5:EB:AE
Manufacturer name: Ingenuity Design
Model number: 10.0
Hardware revision: 1.0
Firmware revision: 2.0.4
Software revision: 1.00
Serial number: 100007871

And it also runs without sudo but then you get an error ....

so I copied it to my PATH like this ...
~/dokit-build/src/cli $ sudo cp -a dokit /usr/local/bin

And that works for me.

Hi @hvdkooij, unfortunately, granting permission to access Bluetooth devices is very much OS-dependant. I might create a wiki page for it, so you and others and contribute what you find.

For example, if you're on some Linux distro's, you might need to add yourself to a "bluetooth" group, like:

sudo usermod --append --groups bluetooth "${USER}"

Which OS version are you using?

[pcolby]

I've started capturing info here: https://github.com/pcolby/dokit/wiki/Bluetooth-Access ☺️

Please let us know:

1. what OS versions you're using; eg lsb_release -a
2. the full dokit version; eg ./src/cli/dokit --debug --version
3. if the usermod command did the trick for you.

Thanks!
