HP TouchPad Wireless Keyboard (bluetooth) connects but encry - Raspberry Pi Forums

Nothing like solving your own problem!

After a few more hours I came across this thread http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/i ... 01198.html and I did the second command: (first one won't hurt but I skipped it)

Code: Select all

/usr/sbin/hciconfig hci0 reset
/usr/sbin/hciconfig hci0 auth encrypt

I did have to remove/readd/reconnect before the keyboard worked, but it works!

Code: Select all

#Error code beforehand
May 6 11:26:39 raspberrypi bluetoothd[2069]: Permission denied (13)

Code: Select all

Restart

/etc/init.d/bluetooth restart
bluez-simple-agent hci0 XX:XX:XX:XX remove
bluez-simple-agent hci0 XX:XX:XX:XX
bluez-test-input connect XX:XX:XX:XX

So yeah RPi verified to work! Not sure how flakey it is on restart or if one needs to remove/readd every bootup. Be sure when you pair the HP touchpad you quickly type 0000 Enter on the pi then 0000 Return on the keyboard. This post isn't a complete tutorial on how to connect the HP TouchPad Wireless Keyboard so take a look around at any generic bluetooth keyboard guide.
