Quick tip: How to connect to Bluetooth SPP (serial port profile) devices in linux

First, scan to find the MAC address of the device:

hcitool scan
Then, use the rfcomm command to connect to the specified MAC: (it must be as root):
sudo rfcomm connect /dev/rfcomm0 AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF 1
This will create the rfcomm0 file inside your /dev/
Now just use any terminal to write to and read from it:
picocom /dev/rfcomm0
or just write to it using echo:
echo “Test” >> /dev/rfcomm0
no baud-rate information is needed, as is the Bluetooth that dictates the speed
