How can I use the r-pi 3b's bluetooth facilities for local keyboard/mouse
Greetings all;
What I want to do is bypass the data losing botteneck of using the usb
dongles that came with the keyboar and mouse, and the data losses
encountered by its shareing of the usb2 data path, by putting the local
keyboard and mouse data into the pi thru the bluetooth facility, which
I've read bypasses the usb2 bottleneck that results in missed keyboard
and mouse events in wholesale quantities.
I realise I may have to rig some sort of a relaying antenna in order to
get a usable signal into the pi's otherwise well shielded location, but
as a C.E.T., I ought to be able to rig something that would work. The
straight line distance is about 5 feet maximim.
The missed keybpard events problem is a serious problem when you are
moving a 3/4 ton metal lathe around and the keyup event is missed
leaving it moving at the selected speed, when it should have been
stopped a fraction of a millisecond after lifting the finger off the
movement key.
So far I have only played with bluetoothctl, which cannot discover the in
use keyboard/mouse, presumably because they are already paired? This is
what I can see so far:
[bluetooth]# show

Whats next?
Thank you.
