After plugging in the Belkin Mini BluetoothV4.0 USB Adapter to fix my erratic Magic Trackpad problems on my MacBook Pro, there was no obvious way to tell if it was identified or working. The solution was to download the Bluetooth Explorer app, which is part of the Hardware IO Tools for Xcode bundle. This is only available from the Apple Developer site, which requires free registration to. This software will allow Macintosh customers to use a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone for Internet connection, perform a HotSync operation with a Palm handheld device, and exchange files between. Suggests that it's installed as part of the Mac developer tools package. I know in Leopard I could Option 'click' on the bluetooth symbol on the menu bar but this is no longer available. When I do that with OS X 10.5.8, all I see vs. Not using the 'option' key is a couple of. But even if you don't pay, you can still download Xcode and other developer tools—including something called the Hardware IOTools for Xcode 7, which includes a nifty little app called Bluetooth Explorer. Get the Bluetooth Explorer app. To get this app for yourself, start by logging in on the Apple Developer page using your usual Apple ID. Download WiFi Explorer for macOS 10.13 or later and enjoy it on your Mac. Scan, monitor, and troubleshoot wireless networks with WiFi Explorer. Quickly identify channel conflicts, signal overlapping or configuration problems that may be affecting the connectivity and performance of your home, office or enterprise wireless network.

I recently started playing around with one of those RFDuino’s. These are microchips with BLE built-in and with the Arduino framework built around it. It’s easy to connect them to a iOS device, but if you want to connect them directly to your Mac, it’s a little bit harder.
One of the things you’ll need, is BLE support on your Mac. One way to check this is issuing the following command:

system_profiler -detailLevel full SPBluetoothDataType | grep 'LMP Version' Ikea home planner mac download.
If you see a response like
LMP Version: 0x6
Then you’re in luck, if you see a lower value, like
LMP Version: 0x4
https://ionever346.weebly.com/filezilla-ftp-client-mac-download.html. Then you need to buy a BLE Dongle, like me. I bought a LM506 Bluetooth 4.0 adapter from LM Technologies, which actually has the Broadcom BCM20702A0 chip inside it. On Mavericks, this chip should work ‘out of the box’, but it didn’t ?
You’ll have to select which Bluetooth chip you want to use. The built-in one or the external. You can’t use both. To do this you have to download the Hardware IO Tools for Xcode from the Apple Developers site (just search for it). Then, run Bluetooth Explorer. Choose ‘HCI Controller Selector’ from the tools menu.
Select your BLE chip and press activate! Bluetooth In Mac
If you’re using a Bluetooth mouse, you will have to re-pair your mouse again.

So that’s it. Now I can start using those RFDuino’s with my Mac ?
