Problems to found Bluetooth module with labview !

[Oriol.Bofill]

Hi, I'm using "conceptronic BT200NANO" bluetooth module in my PC.

The "Bluetooth discover" labview driver placed in "Bluetooth" folder doesn't found my Bluetooth server !!!!!!

Does Anybody know the cause ?

Thxs a lot !!

Hi,

You need to use Bluetooth Open Connection to request a connection to a Bluetooth server.

Bluetooth Discover Function searches for all locally installed or other Bluetooth devices within the range of the Bluetooth network.

You can view the bluetooth VIs and functions here.

Refer to labview\examples\comm\ for examples of using the Bluetooth VIs and Functions.  This will be in your installation folder.

I hope this helps you. 

Kind Regards

Thxs Lewis,

I can't found my bluetooth adress server ! ( I'm tried searching it with "Discover function").

I have installed my BT server correctly in my PC (I'm connect with bT windows administrator).

Do you know how to find the address?

Regards,

Oriol

Hi,

What operating system are you using?  and did you install drivers for your conceptronic device?

When using Windows XP SP2 and later, the device must be using the Microsoft bluetooth drivers to work with LabVIEW.

"Windows XP SP 2 and later – LabVIEW works with Bluetooth devices that use the Microsoft Bluetooth driver included with Windows XP Service Pack 2 and later. Refer to the Microsoft Web site for Bluetooth devices that are supported by the Microsoft Bluetooth driver. Most Bluetooth devices come packaged with a proprietary Bluetooth driver. To use the device with LabVIEW, the Bluetooth adapter must be using the Microsoft Bluetooth driver. A Microsoft Bluetooth driver for Windows XP SP1 was also available. Refer to Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 323183: Availability of Windows XP Service Pack 1 Support for Bluetooth Wireless Devices for more information about Bluetooth-compatible operating systems."

Trying looking here for more information.

I'm solved error 59 !!! The MAC adress of BT  are the last 3 pairs of numbers.

Now the error is 54 😞

Hi Oriolba,

I have looked at your bluetooth device on the manufacturers website.  There is a downloadable driver for that device.  Have you installed the driver?  If so, try to uninstall it.  As before, "To use the device with LabVIEW, the Bluetooth adapter MUST be using the Microsoft Bluetooth driver".

Also, error 59 gives:  The network is down, unreachable, or has been reset.  I would imagine this is because LabVIEW cannot see the device.

Kind Regards
