Here I'll describe how you can turn your NextThingCo C.H.I.P. into a bluetooth speaker. | |
STEP 1 - Test your jack: | |
a. Plug your headphone to your C.H.I.P. first. | |
b. Then put some mp3 files to your C.H.I.P. | |
c. Try to play them with `mplayer foo.mp3` command. | |
d. If you hear your song from the headphone, continue to next step. | |
e. Ok. You can't get sound from the headphone. | |
I could only hear sound by uninstalling pulseaudio but I don't suggest that way. | |
If you can, flashing the C.H.I.P. solved the problem for me (easiest and fastest way). | |
For flashing: https://github.com/Thore-Krug/Flash-CHIP | |
I've flashed my C.H.I.P. with Ubuntu. I could't do that neither on Mac or Ubuntu inside Virtualbox on Mac. | |
STEP 2 - Actual work: | |
Follow this guide: | |

STEP 3 - Bluetooth settings: | |
Open `bluetoothctl` from command line. Pair | |
# problem 1: phone can't connect to the chip after reboot | |
# and bluetoothctl shows that phone and C.H.I.P. constantly get disconnected | |
# Solution (worked for me): | |

So, there was already a guide for this work but why is this tutorial for? I lost many hours for finding solutions. | |
So I would want to save someone other's time by providing these tricks. |
