Raspbian Updates Dramatically Improve Bluetooth Support on Raspberry Pi 3
One of the best innovations of the Raspberry Pi 3 is built-in Bluetooth , but a command line was required to set up a Bluetooth device . Now you can easily add Bluetooth devices directly from the taskbar.
The update provides a complete interface for adding Bluetooth devices, which means you don’t have to mess with the command line if you don’t want to. Just click the Bluetooth icon and find your device just like any other modern operating system. The interface also now supports Bluetooth audio, so you can easily connect speakers or headphones. In addition to improved Bluetooth support, the update adds an SD Card Copier app to back up your SD card, a new way to access GPIOs, and a Geany programming text editor. You can update your version of Raspbian using the following commands:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo apt-get install piclone geany usb-Modewitch sudo apt-get install python-pigpio python3-pigpio
