Week 19 - 571525/wiibalance GitHub Wiki

This week has gone in testing the application, more specifically how it works on other operating systems. We did face some problems in terms of the bluetooth compatablility with newer bluetooth driver on 64-bit OS. Since WiiBalance requires an implementation of JRS-82, we have gone with the only feasible solution which is the BlueCove library. This works well on Linux and we have had no problems with it while deveolping the application. However, when testing BlueCove on Windows 10 and Mac OS 10.15 we found that the software wasn’t compatible with the under lying operating system. We tried solving it through Docker containers, updating drivers and using different versions of the BlueCove library. No luck. In theory the current solution should work on older OS, and with other bluetooth drivers. It would be interesting to test the system with a bluetooth dongle and see if that solves the issues.

Otherwise, we’ve written a good bit on the final report and find ourselves well ahead of schedule.
