Well, I haven’t found out much about how to use command line to scan for and display bluetooth Mac addresses. Most Linux distros use hcitool, but Free bsD uses hccontrol, which I haven’t even found man page info on yet. I did get the braille display working, because I found the address via hcitool in Vinux, which is based on Ubuntu. However, it might be nice to find out how to display this info in a Mac Mavericks terminal.
