Bluetooth

  • easy sync & run upload/download files and execute python scripts on the phone over BT. Useful for developers and hackers (i.g: take pictures on the phone and send them to your PC).
  • Using the Bluetooth Console: in Linux, in Mac OS X, in Win2000. If you have installed the Pyrepl package, you can start using it by entering command pr().
  • This looks useful: SyncAndRun, a modified Bluetooth console for conveniently synchronizing files and running code on the phone.
  • How to read position data from a Bluetooth GPS
  • Running IP over Bluetooth with help of Gnubox and some instructions provide development environment with fast networking. Chapter 3.1 in Programming with Python for Series 60 Platform has tcp_console.py. -- Tero Saarni
  • Gnubox This is a small software for your cell phone with which you can create a new Internet Connection (internet access point, connection profile, whatever you call it) on the phone. If you use this connection, the phone does not dial or connect to GPRS, but uses bluetooth (or the USB cradle) to connect to your PC. Thus you will be able to surf the web, download software/data/email/whatever you like without paying any fee to your operator. For 3rd there's a version of GNUBox also but before using it you have to sign it yourself with your dev cert free because cap required is WriteDeviceData ! GNUBox for 3rd unsigned Thanks to Multivax to this port :)
  • Note: Some of the functions (at least bt_advertise_service and bt_rfcomm_get_available_server_channel) in the socket module erroneously expect socketObject._sock instead of socketObject as their argument. For more details see this thread at the Forum Nokia discussion board.

  • TCS60FS This is a pys60 app that will enable you use phone file system from the Total Commander file explorer with serial plugin for TC. TCS60FS implements the serial protocol used by TC serial plugin.TCS60FS is based on the fileserver source released by Nokia. Source file.
  • Here's new version of putools old site pytools and old files pytools now renamed putools It contains push (Python Utility SHell) using pyShell components from wxWindows to create a nice front end on the PC side for an interpreter running on the phone, communicating over BT. It has builtin support for synchronizing files between phone and PC. It gets also shell capabilities (ls, cat, rm, ...). A must have for developing pys60 scripts !

  • nfsapp.py is a Python implementation of nfsapp, an application that allows a Symbian device to be mounted as a NFS file system on Unix/Linux/MacOS X. On the PC side you need the P3nfsd daemon. Why a Python implementation of nfsapp? Because the C++ implementation provided with P3nfs does not support S60 3rd edition, nor Unicode file names; and besides, several users have noticed that the Python version is more stable.
  • ConsoleTools 0.4 from Tero Saarni A collection of modules with aim of helping Python software development on Nokia Series 60 which consist mainly of :
    • debugging and profiling (with pdb and profile)
    • shell unix-like command (cp , ls , mkdir , pwd etc.)
