Getting a bluetooth keyboard working in PiPlay (Apple Bluetooth KB)
-
I'm not exactly an expert with Pi and Linux but I can usually work my way around alright. I've managed to get my keyboard paired with the bluetooth adapter that I'm using (Iogear GBU521) but I can't seem to get it to work as an input device. I've hit Google pretty hard already and I'm not entirely sure what I'm missing. Is there are a tutorial on how to do such things for PiPlay? I haven't had any luck and I'd be quite thankful if someone could give me a hand. Oh, I'm using a Pi 1 B+ and the latest version of PiPlay.

Well, I removed and repaired the keyboard and suddenly it's working. Now I need to figure out how to get it to connect to the keyboard on boot.

Actually, it does work on boot. It just takes about 5 seconds for it to start responding once I get into the PiPlay menu. Nothing like solving your own problems. :)
Howdy, Stranger!
