Bluetooth dongle for RasPi

dharr19

Hello All,

 

Has anyone found a bluetooth dongle that will work with the Raspberry Pi?

 

Cheers

  • I have found two that work and one that does not. The easiest to identify is a D-Link DBT-122, with ID 07d1:f101, using a Broadcom chip. The other is a little subby thing, nicely half-round, that sticks out about 1 cm. The product ID is 0a12:0001, using a Cambridge Silicon Radios chip. Finally the non-working one is an anonymous blue dongle with a Silicon Wave chip, product ID is 0c10:0000. Apparently it used to work with older versions of BlueZ, so maybe someday it will again.

    What is the name of the "little subby thing, nicely half-round, that sticks out about 1 cm. The product ID is 0a12:0001, using a Cambridge Silicon Radios chip"?

    Just to make sure image I went out and bought another one ... for my laptop, yes, that's right.... It's anonymous too. The label says "Bluetooth USB Dongle" - but you already knew that. There is a little sticker on the back that says "Power Data 10020584" but I doubt that helps much. It does say "Made in China', but, again, you knew that, too. Here's a picture of the three of them:

    @David_Harrison,

     

    I know it's been a while since this post, but for the sake of anyone else asking the same question, what I found today (11/16/2016) is the "little stubby thing" is an "Importer520 Bluetooth 4.0 USB Micro Adapter (CSR 8510 Chipset)" -- available at Amazon for under $10.

     

    Cheers!
