I know there's something that lets you controll xmms from a mobile over bluetooth on linux. Most likely open-source and could give some idea of what's involved.
the problem is, that I wont use a mobile. I just wanna have a device which gives you the possibility to use a rotary controller which outputs a number according to the position. By pushing a button the number should be transfered to the receiver and processed by the pd patch. thats why I am looking for a solution but the mobile remote control software wont work in this case I think.
I read a bit about this and found, that there is a Bluethooth Human Interface Device (HID) protocol that is very similar, maybe even combatible to the USB HID protocol. At least on Linux there already are HID event externals written by Hans-Christoph Steiner (in externals/hcs). They may work or can be made to work with Bluetooth HID as well. But AFAIK there are no equivalent HID externals for OS-X, yet.
If you can live with a cord: I sometime use the Shuttle X-Press Jog/Shuttle wheel with the linuxevent externals.
