I want to see the data flow from a connected bluetooth device. I figure I should be able to see the raw data in the terminal somehow, but I cannot seem to find out how to do this. I'm running Snow Leopard on a MacBook

Thanks.

I've only done this on Linux, but it should be possible with a MACBook (It runs BSD AFAIK) but here goes:

If you can get to a shell prompt AND if you have the Bluez utilities

just type

hcidump -X

at a prompt.

    Mac doesn't have Bluez nor can it be installed due to the differences between the Linux BT api and Apple's BT API. – edude05 Mar 21 '11 at 18:24
