Hello
Anyone knows anything about bluetooth?
I bought a bluetooth dongle to use with my mobile phone.
It seems only when i run the software installed i can access the PC
i wanted to know if windows allows me to use the driver with out the software and if yes how can i program for it?
i searched google for like 30 min and no valueable info.
any ideas will do.

Don't use Windows Bluetooh (it comes with SP 2 for XP).
It's better to use the given software (mine is from WIDCOMM).
Windows only detects my mobile phone, but not all services.
WIDCOMM detects everything: All services of my mobile phone and my BT headset.

Some bluetooth dongles needs their software to be installed. I also have a IVT dongle and I must use IVT BlueSoleil Bluetooth Driver. And this driver makes problems in much applications like MobilePhone and others. I hand the same problem too.Pantcho!! wrote:Hello

After upgrading to a latest Version I was able to create a virtual COM Device for connecting from within other apps to the dongle. Which works fine if the app supports COM connections.

Yeah i bought a cheap dongle that has that BlueSoleil software inside!
it seems windows cannot dedect it by itself.
I maybe need to update the software as your said.
also there is an SDK here :
http://www.bluesoleil.com/download/inde ... soleil_sdk
but its in C++ so i dont have a clue (yet.. c++ total newbie).
And what do u mean you were able to make a virtual COM device?
More info is welcome

Use this function in IVT to set up a virtual serial com device:
Take a look in the Tips & Tricks sectrion. I thought it was Rings who posted a snipped how to communicate with a serial com port.
You may need to take a look on your Mobile-Device command set, dont know if there is a standard or IEEE which discribes the way of communication with all devices.
Sorry, cant give you more information about this. But in this way, I can use by dongle with other applications.

@Pantcho,
Did you ever make any headway with this bluetooth SDK?
I ask as I have been attempting to download the sdk without success due to the rather poor quality of the link from the website which turns out to be the same as the link you have provided above here.
I have not played with bluetooth at all as yet, but have been reading about an idea to make my phone's bluetooth into a suedo sort of prox card which if I can get some bluetooth code working, I would be able to use as a security device to lock my computer when I get more than 10 metres or so away from it..
Alternately, does any1 have any suggestions that may prove useful in helping to get some sort of bluetooth code working?
I have tried with http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/librar ... S.85).aspx but the listed API's here don't seem to be working with PB & again, I can't seem to find the M$ SDK despite hours of trawling the site...
p.s. I am currently using the packaged Bluesoleil software that came packaged with my dongle

Hi,
Another option is to use the WT11 (Wrap Thor) from Bluegiga. It is a very good device (the best) that at the moment is connected to the ArduinoBT. Yes, the Arduino has nothing to do with PB but separate aquired you can connect the BT11 to your serial port with voltage level switchers or by a Bleutooth dongle. It must be mentioned that you need to add your own hardware to the BT11 such as a embedded microcontroller or sensors/input devices.
Regards,
Marcel
