"LocoBridge Adapter picture" class="floatRight"> The <a href=

|
"http://www.mollehem.se/index.php/electronics/smartphoninterface-detail">LocoBridge</a>
|
|
allows you to connect remotely through Bluetooth to the adapter, which then connects to a
|
|
LocoNet to control your layout.
|
|
<p>For more information on the LocoBridge itself, please see <a href=

<h2>Setup</h2>
|
|
|
|
<span class="since">since 4.1</span>
|
|
<p>On Intel Mac and Windows systems, all necessary software comes with the JMRI
|
|
download.</p>
|
|
<p>Note that this connection is not directly supported on Apple Silicon Macs, e.g.
|
|
the M1, M2, M3 etc. To use a LocoBridge on one of those Macs, please
|
|
<a href="/java/index.shtml">install an Intel-architecture version of Java</a>
|
|
so that Rosetta 2 can do the translation for you.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>On Linux and other systems, you need to have <code>libbluetooth</code> installed.
|
|
Depending on which Linux distribution you are using, you might have to use commands like<br>
|
|
<code>sudo apt-get install libbluetooth</code><br>
|
|
or<br>
|
|
<code>sudo apt-get install libbluetooth-dev</code></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For more information,
|
|
please see <a href="http://bluecove.org/bluecove-gpl/">this page</a>, which describes the
|
|
requirements to use the Blue Cove library that JMRI uses to access Bluetooth.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Configuration</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>To set up a JMRI application to use the LocoBridge:</p>
