Hi João, If you have a shimmer2r then you should be using "make shimmer2r", or results will be unpredictable. See here to confirm which you have: http://www.shimmer-research.com/products-2/shimmer-revisions
But in any case the shimmer2 and the shimmer2r use the exact same bluetooth driver. The fact that the PC is requesting to pair with the shimmer is odd. This should not be required. Yesterday I tested using Ubuntu 10.04 (installed natively on the PC), using the BlueZ BT stack, and with a Belkin BT dongle, and I got no such pairing request (when the python ran as expected for me). Are you running Linux natively or within VMware? In the past I had no problem running the python scripts within Linux running in a VMware image on top of Windows. However, when I just tested this again today I am running into the same issue you are (i.e. VMware asks for a pairing code with the shimmer and then doesn't seem to go any further). I presume this is due to the change in how BT is handled in recent versions of VMware Player (it tries to share the BT radio between the host and client OS, rather than giving either full control). My initial thinking is that this is not designed to work when the PC is a BT slave (which would be a relatively unusual situation) and the cause of my issue. As long as you are able to compile the application I doubt the problem is with your TinyOS install, and it is much more likely that the issue is at the PC side of the link.
