This tutorial shows you, how to easily connect a bluetooth keyboard to RaspBMC.

• Connect via SSH to your Raspberry Pi and login as user pi with password raspberry
• When connected, at first enable dbus:
  
  pi@raspbmc:~$ sudo update-rc.d -f dbus defaults
• Then install needed software:
  
  pi@raspbmc:~$ sudo apt-get install bluez python-gobject
• Then list your bluetooth devices:
  
  pi@raspbmc:~$ sudo hcitool dev
  The result shows the name of your bluetooth stick (here hci0 - you need it later).
  
  Devices:
  hci0      00:09:DD:50:31:FB
• Switch your keyboard to pairing-mode (there should be a special button on your keyboard) and enter:
  
  pi@raspbmc:~$ sudo hcitool scan
  In the result you should see your keyboard (bluetooth iPazzport with it's MAC address, which you need later).
  
  Scanning...
  54:46:6B:00:70:66      bluetooth iPazzport
• Then enter the following commands, but replace the green and red fields with your values:
  
  pi@raspbmc:~$ sudo bluez-simple-agent hci0 54:46:6B:00:70:66
  Then it asks you to enter a PIN Code. Just enter some number like 1337:
  
  Enter PIN Code: 1337
  Now you have to enter the same number on your bluetooth keyboard and press the [ENTER] key.
  When all worked right you should see a message:
  
  Release
  New device (/org/bluez/2139/hci0/dev_54_46_6B_00_70_66)
• Next set your keyboard as trusted:
  
  pi@raspbmc:~$ sudo bluez-test-device trusted 54:46:6B:00:70:66 yes
• Last of all, connect to your keyboard:
  
  pi@raspbmc:~$ sudo bluez-test-input connect 54:46:6B:00:70:66
  Wait a few seconds and your keyboard should work.
• If it doesn't work yet, try restarting the daemon:
  
  pi@raspbmc:~$ /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart
• And if you made something wrong and want to delete a known device, just enter:
  
  pi@raspbmc:~$ bluez-test-device remove 54:46:6B:00:70:66
• WARNING: Editing XBMC services (FTP, SSH, ...) seems to disable bluetooth. Then just restart RaspBMC and it should work again!
