Non BLE devices, Bluetooth HID/L2CAP #125

I know this isn't an issue, but it's hard to find another place to open a discussion about this. I've been digging through Bluez and go-bluetooth for a while now, and I'm not winning.

I want to be able to read and request data from an old Wiimote. These aren't the BLE devices but appear as HID devices. https://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wiimote#HID_Interface I can pair/connect to it, but that's about it. I've been through the bluez repo here and found an input profile that defines the same control and data pipe as described in the wiki Wiimote#HID_Interface linked above.

#define L2CAP_PSM_HIDP_CTRL 0x11
#define L2CAP_PSM_HIDP_INTR 0x13

I'd like to know if it is possible to send requests and read responses using go-bluetooth? If it is possible, do you have any guidance for me how to achieve this? Does go-bluetooth implement most of the Bluez functions? Much appreciated in advance.

Hi, I am not very experienced on this topic, sorry. To understand the topic I found this discussion https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22688375/writing-hid-service-with-pybluez

If it can be done over dbus -ideally- this library may be able to address it.

Let me know, thanks!
