Good news, I have had success with another bluetooth dongle.

I got a dual-mode Bluetooth 4 dongle with a CSR8510 chip off eBay. Plugged that into a USB hub along with my usb console cable. Then plugged the whole lot into the airconsole. Now I can use bluetooth on my iPad instead of wifi.

Another option is to use an small 4 port USB hub plugged into the airconsole, and USB serial leads plugged into that.

I just upgraded to 2.60 and had a look at the multi port feature. I've removed the Bluetooth module and plugged a second serial cable into that port. It detects 2 serial ports, but there is only one set of TCP ports listed. How do I telnet to the second serial port? I don't have the bluetooth dongl...

Regarding the Firefox bug, I am unable to replicate currently (Mac OS X with Firefox 35.0.1).

Hi,

Every time I open get-console on iOS, it get a popup saying 'Turn on bluetooth to allow "get console" to connect to Accessories' which is annoying as I don't need bluetooth turned on to do what I'm doing. Is there a way I can disable this popup?

Thanks

If the AirConsole ran CUPS, it could be configured to act as an AirPrint server. Then one could connect a printer via USB or ethernet, and print to it from your IOS device.

I don't know how much work that would be, or if it's sensible, but I thought I'd put it out there.

FYI. Remote packet capture was added as a beta in firmware 2.55.
