Bluetooth (2nd try)

Jeff Barnes · Post by **Jeff Barnes** » Sun Dec 17, 2006 6:33 pm

Hi Everybody,

I am wondering if I can read data from a bluetooth enabled device via FWH.

I am not looking to send data to the device.

Does anyone know if this is possible? Can you point me in the right direction.
This is the first time I have tried to do anything with bluetooth so I'm not sure exactly how this would work.

Thanks,

Jeff

Jeff,

It looks as the bluetooth uses a COM port, so you may be able to use fwh\samples\phone.prg and samples\TestComm.prg as a model.

Jeff,

Here is an MS reference that might help.

Bluetooth Programming with Windows Sockets

It looks like it is going to be a fair amount of work. I advise creating a bluetooth class.

James,

We have not tested bluetooth with a PC, but on the Pocket PC there are several ways to use the bluetooth: as a COMM port or using sockets. I guess the same may be applied to the PC.
