KeynotePebbleController

Interact with Keynote using your Pebble from OSX.

Warning and Complications

• Supported OSes are OSX 10.8 and 10.7
• Detailed Lightblue-0.4 installation instructions for earlier version of OSX (10.6) and other OSes can be found here

##1. Install Dependencies

You will require python 2.7 to operate libpebble. It can be installed here

• Pyserialwill also be required, is can be installed via pip

###a. Additional Dependencies

Installing Lightblue-0.4 in OSX will require the following be installed:

• PyObjC which can be installed via pip
• Xcode 2.1 or later to build LightAquaBlue framework
• Note that you may have to run libpebble as root with sudo python pebble.py in Debian

##2. Install Libpebble and Lightblue

• To install libpebble, clone the current libpebble with lightblue support from git@github.com:pebble/libpebble.git to a location of your choosing
• To install lightblue clone lightblue-0.4 from https://github.com/pebble/lightblue-0.4 and then:
  • cd lightblue-0.4
  • sudo python setup.py install

##3. Testing the Connection Note: you should have your bluetooth module enabled before continuing

###a. OSX When using libpebble on OSX, it is recommended that --lightblue be utilized.

#####Using libpebble with --lightblue on OSX

• First install the OSX dependencies, general dependencies and lightblue

• From the libpebble folder, execute the following: ./p.py --lightblue --pair get_time keynote

• Note that if no --pebble_id is specified before the command, you are provided with a GUI selection tool.

• Note that if a MAC address is supplied, initialization time is reduced.

  • For example: ./p.py --pebble_id 00:11:22:33:44:55:66 --lightblue get_time keynote where 00:11:22:33:44:55:66 is the Pebble's MAC Address, viewable on the Pebble from settings-->about

• You can obtain your pebble's MAC address after a successful connection in the libpebble stdout debug logs

• The --pebble_id can also be the 4 letter friendly name of your pebble but this will require that the Pebble is broadcasting.

• It is also possible to set the PEBBLE_ID environment variable as well:

  export PEBBLE_ID="00:11:22:33:44:55:66"
  ./p.py --lightblue get_time keynote
  

#####Using libpebble without --lightblue on OSX (MAY CAUSE KERNEL PANICS)

• Pair your Pebble to your computer and make sure it's setup as a serial port. For example it could be exposed as /dev/tty.Pebble123A-SerialPortSe. You can accomplish this by using OSX's pairing utility in System Preferences --> Bluetooth -> + --> selecting your pebble Pebble XXXX then confirming the pairing code on the Pebble.
• Once you're paired and the serial port is setup, you can execute commands without the --lightblue flag, just ensure that the --pebble_id is the 4 letter friendly name of your Pebble, 123A for example.
• A command to get the time might be: ./p.py --pebble_id 123A get_time keynote
