Bind-setup.py fails to pair device (../scripts/xwiibind.sh: not found)

[garbit]

Hi there,

I'm just trying to get around having to pair each time I use the device by running the bind-setup.py script however I'm getting a script not found on the xwiibind.sh (see below).

pi@raspberrypi:~/Development/Wii-Scale $ sudo python wii-scale/bind-setup.py 
Press the red sync button under the battery hatch
Searching for Wii Balance Board...
Found Wiiboard at address [xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx]
/bin/sh: 1: ../scripts/xwiibind.sh: not found
Finishing up..
All done!

The result of this script not being found causes node to crash immediately when you click the connect button (see below).

pi@raspberrypi:~/Development/Wii-Scale $ npm start

> wii-scale@0.0.4 start /home/pi/Development/Wii-Scale
> node scripts/start.js

I've also tried calling the script manually through ./xwiibind.sh [wii-board-mac-address]

pi@raspberrypi:~/Development/Wii-Scale/scripts $ ./xwiibind.sh [xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx]
Cannot find bluez 'bluez-test-device', 'bluez-simple-agent' or 'bluez-test-input' scripts

Just to make sure I'm not going insane I also ran:

pi@raspberrypi:~/Development/Wii-Scale $ sudo apt-get install bluez

bluez is already the newest version.

Update [1]

I've modified bind-setup.py on line 39 to now use a different directory (removed ../) Previous: cmd_wiibind = "../scripts/xwiibind.sh " + address Edit: cmd_wiibind = "scripts/xwiibind.sh " + address

This changing of directory string seems to now call the scripts/xwiibind.sh script however I still have the issue of: Cannot find bluez 'bluez-test-device', 'bluez-simple-agent' or 'bluez-test-input' scripts

Update [2]

Got slightly excited that I could add the device as a paired device using the bluetoothctl command line however this doesn't seem to have worked.

sudo bluetoothctl
scan on
trust [xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx]

OS & Hardware

Running on Raspberry Pi 3 model B Raspbian GNU/Linux 8.0 (jessie) Linux raspberrypi 4.9.24-v7+ #993 SMP Wed Apr 26 18:01:23 BST 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux

Don't know if it's useful to know but it seems that the pi is currently running blueman 1.99.alpha1 as the bluetooth gui.

If you have any further issues, please try and install the new version of wii-scale. Closing issue.
