Bluetooth for RISC OS
=====================

Plays sound through Bluetooth speakers and headphones (A2DP), and works
with Bluetooth mice and keyboards (classic and Low Energy), through a
USB Bluetooth adapter, or the Pinebook Pro's own Bluetooth.

Icon bar
  SELECT   open the Devices window
  MENU     status, Info, Devices, connect the saved speaker,
           Disconnect all, Configure, Help, Quit
  ADJUST   open the Bluetooth settings

Devices window
  Each device has its own card: a round badge for what it is (speaker,
  headphones, mouse, keyboard, game pad), its name, details, and how it
  is doing (Connected, Paired, Not paired). The button on the card does
  the obvious thing: Pair (for a new device), Connect, or Disconnect.
  Click MENU on a card to Forget the device.
    Scan for devices   look for devices for 10 seconds; put the device
                       in pairing mode first
    Settings...        start-up and sound choices
    Help               this text

Paired devices come back by themselves: when the computer starts, and
whenever a sleeping mouse or keyboard wakes. A speaker that was off is
picked up within a few minutes of being switched on, or click Connect.

Problems are shown in the Devices window's status line, never in a box
that would stop the desktop.

The drivers (BluetoothVoice and the USB driver) are loaded before the
desktop starts, from Choices:Boot.PreDesk.Bluetooth. Use !Install to
add or remove everything.

Settings and pairings are kept in Choices:Bluetooth.
If something goes wrong, double-click BTReport in !Bluetooth and send
the file that opens.
