Bluetooth on PC

Hi Guynemer,

You can use Windows Desktop for Bluetooth development and you need the Windows 2003 SDK.

Unfortunately, you can't connect to the same device. You need at least 2 devices to test Bluetooth (where one of them can be your desktop PC/laptop).

I recommend using TCP/IP for sending data, it is nearly identical except that is doesn't have the device search feature used by Bluetooth.

Ok , thx for the info.

Is there a way to override the fact that you can only look for a host a use the same UID and who's running the edge library ?

Hi Guynemer,

No, it's only possible to include Edge services with the same UID in the device search process. The only way to bypass this is to connect to a bluetooth device address and port automatically.

Please note that the Bluetooth connection port may differ from each device and Bluetooth session. It needs to be read from the device hosting the server.
